+## Step by step guide to setting up `node.js to Bitburner connection`, for dummies
+
+### 1. Backup your savegame  
+- Augmentations -> Backup save
+
+### 2. Install node.js from https://nodejs.org/en/  
+- Download the version that's recommended for most users.
+- Install it. Just click next, next, next, next, finish.
+	
+### 3. Download this:  
+https://github.com/bitburner-official/typescript-template  
+- Click the green code button -> download zip
+- Extract the zip anywhere, for example `c:\node\`
+	
+### 4. Download this:  
+https://raw.githubusercontent.com/danielyxie/bitburner/dev/src/ScriptEditor/NetscriptDefinitions.d.ts  
+- Press ctrl+s, save this into same directory you just created, for example `c:\node\`
+	
+### 5. Run the node server --------is it called a server?---------	
+- Open command prompt / terminal
+  - Windows: Open start menu and type `cmd` (enter)  
+  - Mac: --------check if this is correct!--------- Click the Launchpad icon in the Dock, type `Terminal` in the search field, then click Terminal.
+- To go to the directory you just created:  
+  - Windows: type `cd ` and drag the folder you created to the cmd window, or type `cd c:\node` or whatever folder you chose previously.  
+  - Mac: --------check if this is correct! and the cd command twice--------- drag the folder you created to the terminal window, or type `cd \node` or whatever folder you chose previously.  
+- type `npm install typescript`
+- type `npm run watch`
+- If the npm asks if you want to install something it needs, answer `y` for yes.
+- Your firewall may yell at you; allow the connection.
+
+### 6. Go back to Bitburner.
+- Options -> remote api -> type in the port: `12525` -> click connect. The icon should turn green and say it's online.
+- Your firewall may yell at you again; allow the connection.
+
+### 7. That's it!
+- You should see a file `template.js` in the root of your `home` server in Bitbuner.
+
+### 8. Test that the connection works
+- Copy/create a .js and a .txt file to `c:\node\dist\` directory - or whatever directory you chose in step 3 - on your computer and check Bitburner. The file should be transferred.
+
+### 9. If you want to use typescript
+- Open another cmd/terminal window just like you did in step 4.
+- This time run the command `npm run transpile`. Yes, you need them both to be running at the same time.
+- Put your .ts files to the `src\` directory.
+	
+### 10. Thats it! Again.
+- Edit the file `template.ts` in the `src\` directory and check that the contents of the file `template.js` in Bitburner are changed to match your edit.
