### 6.a Set Up Debugging on Visual Studio
Visual Studio allows developers to connect to other processes and debug them, setting breakpoints and inspecting the variables of the program. We can set this up following this steps:
On this section we will explain how to set up our solution to enable debugging before the server starts.
1. Right-click on the solution, And click on Add -> Existing Project...
2. Locate Jellyfin executable in your installation folder and click on 'Open'. It is called `Jellyfin.exe`. Now The solution will have a new "Project" called Jellyfin. This is the executable, not the source code of Jellyfin.
3. Right-click on this new project and click on 'Set up as Startup Project'
4. Right-click on this new project and click on 'Properties'
5. Make sure that the 'Attach' parameter is set to 'No'
From now on, everytime you click on start from Visual Studio, it will start Jellyfin attached to the debugger!
The only thing left to do is to compile the project as it is specified a few lines above and you are done.
## Licensing
Licensing is a complex topic. This repository features a GPLv3 license template that can be used to provide a good default license for your plugin. You may alter this if you like, but if you do a permissive license must be chosen.
