The programs defined within this file can by online programs (a.k.a. Doors), editors, or events. |

| If the door is included with Synchronet, or Synchronet already has a configuration for it (in xtrn/3rdp-install), you can use the install-xtrn.js script to install your door. For third party doors, you should extract the door files into your external directory first, and perform any required unpacking/installing of the files. Once the final executable file is in place, Synchronet can check for a file signature match and install the door configuration if it has a matching known configuration for it. | This script can by invoked in a more user-friendly automated fashion by running [[person:echicken]]'s [[module:xtrn-setup]] module. |
