# Client Configuration

Once you have created your account and downloaded the software from the GitHub repository, you need to configure the [Client ](https://github.com/opensky-to/client/releases)and [Agent](https://github.com/opensky-to/agent/releases). 

Navigate to the settings section in the client, and enter your login. This will prompt an authentication token to be granted. On this page you can enter your Bing Maps key, SimBrief username (not the numerical pilot ID), the preferred simulator and make adjustments to the weight and volume units utilized in the software. 

Note: The default simulator chosen in the client does not affect the ability to fly in the alternate sim. This setting is controlled in the Agent. See [Agent Configuration](/opensky-overview/overview-and-features/agent-configuration.md) for details.
