# First Time Setting Up the Line Highlighter Feature
Before running Mind Reader for the first time it is recommended to add the following code block to your `settings.json` file
### Opening Settings.json
1. Launch VS Code
2. Open the `Command Palette` by pressing **Ctrl + Shift + P** (Windows) / **Cmd + Shift + P** (Mac)
3. The Command Palette should appear at the top of your screen ready for you to type
4. Type `settings` and highlight the option that appears saying `Preferences: Open Settings (JSON)` then select it
5. Your `settings.json` window should appear, scroll to the bottom and make sure the last item has a `,` before the closing curly bracket `}`
6. Paste the following code block after the last comma `,`, but before the closing curly bracket `}`:
```
"mind-reader.lineHighlighter.isEnabled" : true,
"mind-reader.lineHighlighter.multiLineIsEnabled" : false,
"mind-reader.lineHighlighter.backgroundColor" : "#232C5C",
"mind-reader.lineHighlighter.outlineColor" : "#4866FE",
"mind-reader.lineHighlighter.outlineWidth" : "1px",
"mind-reader.lineHighlighter.outlineStyle" : "solid",
"mind-reader.lineHighlighter.borderColorTop" : "#FFFFFF",
"mind-reader.lineHighlighter.borderColorRight" : "#FFFFFF",
"mind-reader.lineHighlighter.borderColorBottom" : "#FFFFFF",
"mind-reader.lineHighlighter.borderColorLeft" : "#FFFFFF",
"mind-reader.lineHighlighter.borderWidthTop" : "1px",
"mind-reader.lineHighlighter.borderWidthRight" : "16px",
"mind-reader.lineHighlighter.borderWidthBottom" : "1px",
"mind-reader.lineHighlighter.borderWidthLeft" : "1px",
"mind-reader.lineHighlighter.borderStyleTop" : "solid",
"mind-reader.lineHighlighter.borderStyleRight" : "solid",
"mind-reader.lineHighlighter.borderStyleBottom" : "solid",
"mind-reader.lineHighlighter.borderStyleLeft" : "solid",
"mind-reader.lineHighlighter.fontStyle" : "normal",
"mind-reader.lineHighlighter.fontWeight" : "bolder",
"mind-reader.lineHighlighter.textDecoration" : "none",
"mind-reader.lineHighlighter.textColor" : "#FFFFFF",
```
The values are set to the default values and can be changed here manually, or through the settings window (File -> Preferences -> Settings -> Mind Reader -> Line Highlighter).
Changes made directly in the settings.json will take effect automatically; however, if you change them in the settings window then after you input your new values VS Code must be closed and reopened for the changes to take effect.
After adding the code block, the `settings.json` file should look similar to this:
<p align="center">
<img width="35%" height="35%" alt="line highlighter first time setup" src="media/line_highlighter_setup.PNG"></img>
</p>
7. Save and close `settings.json`
