   • PC name (from 3 to 12 characters);
   • Group of gaming stations (for example, Common Room).
6. Click Install.
7. After successful completion, click Restart.

After the reboot, the Shell will start — you will see the SmartShell loading window. Then you will see the Shell interface waiting to be filled with content. You can read more about shell installation errors here.

How to Deactivate the Shell

You can also deactivate the Shell directly on the desired PC:

2. Enter the default password — pasw0rd (be sure to change this password in the Admin Panel under Settings → Shell → High Access Password).
3. Click Login.
4. After entering the High access mode, click the Shell deactivation button in the lower left corner.

How to register a client

1. Click the Sign In button.
2. In the window that opens, click Register.
3. Enter the date of birth.
4. Click Next.
5. Then fill out the form with the following information:
   • Nickname;
   • Password;
   • Password again;
   • Phone number;
   • Accept the terms and conditions of the User Agreement and Personal Data Processing Policy.
6. Click Next.
7. Enter the code that was sent to the specified phone number. If you didn't receive the code, re-send it in 5 minutes. If that doesn't help, click Change Phone Number and check that the number you entered is correct.
8. Click Register.

All done! The new client is registered! The client needs the phone number and password to log in to the Shell.

How to Add the First Employee

After all these actions, you need to log in to the Admin Panel under the manager role and then do the following:

1. Go to the Employees section.
2. Click Add an Employee.
3. In the window that opens, start entering the phone number (or enter the last four digits of the number) of your future employee and then select the desired user from the drop-down list;
4. Select the role.
5. Enter the employee's full name (If the employee doesn't have a middle name, then put a hyphen “-” in the field);
6. Click Make an Employee.

Before the first employee is added, the page displays the card of the user (without full name) who created the gaming center.

After selecting the appropriate user, their card will appear to the right of the form.

The Shell is installed, employees are added, but somehow it's empty, don't you think?

Step 4. Adding games and apps, creating gaming center accounts.
