If you are a beginner Twine user and want a little extra help, here is a step-by-step of what you need to do to install TW-Analytics on your story.

For WINDOWS:

1. This requires NodeJS go to this address and install it: https://nodejs.org/en/

2. Wait for Node.js to finish installing. You will probably need to reboot your PC.

3. Open the win command prompt (either search for "cmd" in the start menu or click WIN KEY + R and type "cmd" (without the quotations), press enter)

4. The command prompt will open. Type npm i "-g tw-analytics" (without the quotations) and press enter.

5. Now it's time to make your Google Analytics account. Go to https://analytics.google.com/ and make one. When you're done, take not of your analytics ID

6. Now it's time to patch your story. We recommend making a new copy of it just in case. Let's say it's called "Story_copy.html"

7. Go to the folder where Story_copy.html is located. Press ALT + D. You will go to the nav bar. Just type "cmd" and hit enter.

8. The command prompt is now open, targeting the specific folder. To patch the file, just write "twga --id=GA-11111-1 -i Story_copy.html";
   Replace GA-11111-1 with your Google Analytics ID and Story_copy.html with your file name.
