# Setting Up TWL ManualEditor

Before setting up TWL ManualEditor, ensure that the development environment has been set up correctly.

## Preview Environment

TWL ManualEditor previews the open project on the development computer, on IS-NITRO-EMULATOR hardware, or on IS-TWL-DEBUGGER hardware.

The IS-NITRO-EMULATOR and IS-TWL-DEBUGGER hardware must be connected properly if you want to use them to preview content.

## Installing and Starting TWL ManualEditor

Extract the archive anywhere and then open the folder.

Double-click `ManualEditorStarter.exe` in that folder to run TWL ManualEditor.

## Associating File Extensions with the Editor

To associate the page file extension (`.ntpg`) with the editor, just run the batch file that Nintendo has provided for this purpose.

Run the batch file by double-clicking the `setup_ManualEditor.bat` file located in
`$(TWL-ManualTools_Root)\TwlManualTools\tools\ManualEditor\`.

A Windows command prompt opens; close it when prompted.
