# Alternative

{% hint style="warning" %}
If you already completed setup, you don't need to do this step
{% endhint %}

If you don't want to use the pairing app, here's an alternative way to retrieve pairing information (for advanced users):

* Install [node.js](https://nodejs.org/)
* Open a terminal, run the following commands one at a time
* Enter Y if prompted
* Pair servers and entities in-game 

```bash
npx @liamcottle/rustplus.js fcm-register
npx @liamcottle/rustplus.js fcm-listen
```
