## Getting Started
64+
65+
### Prerequisites
66+
67+
- **Rainmeter v4.5 or newer.** Rainmeter can be installed by downloading the `.exe` file [from Rainmeter's official website.](https://www.rainmeter.net/)
68+
- **JaxCore v40005 or newer.** JaxCore can be installed by downloading the `.rmskin` file from [JaxCore's official website.](https://jax-core.github.io/)
69+
70+
### Installation
71+
72+
Assuming you successfully downloaded and installed Rainmeter as well as JaxCore, you can now proceed to install ModularClocks by following the steps below.
73+
74+
1. Download and run the `.rmskin` file for **ModularClocks** from the official [JaxCore site](https://jax-core.github.io/) to install **ModularClocks**.
75+
2. Leave the installation settings at their defaults and click Install.
76+
3. When the installation is finished, a startup pop-up should appear. Follow through the pop-up to finish installing **ModularClocks**.
77+
78+
* Note: If you find that the JaxCore option is red on the startup pop-up, please press the red button and Core will be installed automatically. Perchance this fails, you can manually install Core by downloading the `.rmskin` file from [JaxCore's official website.](https://jax-core.github.io/)
79+
80+
### Setting Up
81+
82+
To use the custom clock styles, you must first install and configure **[ImageMagick](https://github.com/khanhas/MagickMeter).** If you already have **ImageMagick** setup, you can skip to choosing the presets; if not, follow the instructions below to setup **ImageMagick**.
83+
84+
85+
#### Installing ImageMagick:
86+
87+
1. Open **[this link](https://www.imagemagick.org/script/download.php#windows)**. This link will take you to another site where you must locate and download the appropriate installer.
88+
2. Find a suitable release under **Windows Binary Release** that corresponds to your requirements and download it. The `ImageMagick-7.1.0-19-Q16-HDRI-x64-dll.exe` executable will be used to install for this guide.
89+
3. After the download is complete, run the installer, which in this case is `ImageMagick-7.1.0-19-Q16-HDRI-x64-dll.exe`.
90+
4. Leave the installation settings at their defaults and follow through the installation. You can tinker around with the settings **ONLY** if you know what they do.
91+
5. Open **[this link](https://github.com/khanhas/MagickMeter/releases)** and dowload the latest release of the **MagickMeter** skin. The `magickmeter_0.7.3.rmskin` Rainmeter skin file will be used to install for this guide.
92+
6. Leave the installation settings at their defaults and click Install.
93+
7. Restart Rainmeter and your plugin will be activated.
94+
95+
And that is how you setup **ImageMagick**. You can now proceed to configure the Clock Presets.
96+
97+
* **Note:** An alternate approach for **Step 5** and **Step 6** is:
98+
- Download the [plugin DLLs](https://github.com/khanhas/MagickMeter/releases)
99+
- Copy the version that corresponds to your system from the zip file (x86 or x64)
100+
- Open Run(`Win + R`), type `%appdata%\Rainmeter\Plugins\` and press **OK**.
101+
- Manually paste DLL you copied in the second step.
102+
- Finally, restart Rainmeter and your plugin will be activated.
103+
104+
#### Choosing Presets:
105+
Follow the steps outlined below to setup custom clock presets:
106+
107+
1. Open Core and head over to the **Desktop** section.
108+
2. Select **ModularClocks** from the list and proceed to the **Appearance** tab.
109+
3. Under **Clock Style** choose a preset that tickles your fancy.
110+
4. The clock style will be changed if you refresh **ModularClocks** by deactivating and activating the toggle on the bottom left.
111+
112+
* **Note:** The **Render** and **Appearance** tabs allow you to further customize each preset as required.
