# Getting Started

{% hint style="warning" %}
The API functions are designed for programmers. If you do not know Lua, consider learning it through the [Developer Hub](https://developer.roblox.com/en-us/).

Make sure you have set up your system and that it is working before you start programming Plugins. [Manual](https://devforum.roblox.com/t/checkmein-3-1-manual/236337)
{% endhint %}

CheckMeIn has a rich API that can be accessed through Plugins. Making a plugin is quite simple.

1. Create a ModuleScript under Workspace.CheckMeIn.Plugins
2. Name it what you want
3. Paste the following template into the script

```lua
return{
['Enabled'] = true; -- Is this plugin enabled?
['Function'] = function(API)
-- Your code goes here
end}
```

At the start of the game, `Function` is called by the server, it will pass the `API` value which you can use to call API functions. To find out what functions there are, proceed to the next page.
