Please follow the steps described in this simple tutorial to install your DeskSense(c) script. We believe that you should encounter no trouble getting it done from the first time as the script has no access to databases and no configuration files. Just two lines of text where you enter your Google™'s publisher ID and password.. So, let's go..

1. Downloading and unpacking the script
   From your member's area, click the link there to launch the script download window. Browse to some place (desktop) for example and click the save button. This will download the script to your desktop.
   
   You will be downloading daily snapshots of our development CVS server. Which means you will always be downloading the latest version titles stable.
   
   - Create a new folder on your desktop and unzip the downloaded file into that folder. Open the config.php file and enter your Google™ AdSense™ publisher ID and password and save the file. This is everything you need to do for the script to run.
   
   
   
2. Uploading the file to your server
   Upload the script to your host, make sure to remember the path for the scripts on your server. Further in this tutorial, we'll assume the following..
   - www.domain.com/monitor/index.php
   - /home/domainco/public_html/monitor/index.php
   
   
   
3. the 'foofile.txt'
   There is a file named 'foofile.txt' in the folder where you just uploaded your script. In our case that would be '/home/domainco/public_html/monitor/foofile.txt', that file need to be made writable.
   
   To make it writable please use your FTP program's context menu options, your cPanel file explorer, or your direct server shell. For more information please contact your host manager or support team.
   In general, that file needs to CHMODed to 755 OR 777
   
   

You are done, let's test everything by setting the channels..
