Installation & Setup

Follow these steps to install the Smartphone Widget and get it running in your Foundry VTT world. The initial setup must be performed by a Game Master (GM).

1. Installing Dependencies (Crucial Step)

This module requires another module to function correctly. You must install and activate it first.

• socketlib: This library is essential for the real-time communication that powers features like text messaging and phone calls.
  • When you install the Smartphone Widget, socketlib should be automatically flagged as a required dependency and installed alongside it.
  • However, if it is not installed automatically, you can install it manually: In the "Add-on Modules" tab, click "Install Module," search for socketlib, and click "Install."
