# How To Use Debug Mode

### 🗂️ Understanding Files on Windows

Windows is a file-based operating system. `Module-FiveM.exe` is a file you download from the internet (specifically from **Storm's Website**), and it is typically saved in your **Downloads** folder.

#### 📁 File Path Example

If your username is `username`, the path would look like this:

```
C:\Users\username\Downloads\Module-FiveM.exe
```

* `C:` is the drive letter (usually the main drive).
* Then comes the `Users` folder.
* Followed by your user folder (e.g., `username`).
* Then the `Downloads` folder, where the file resides.
* Finally, the file itself: `Module-FiveM.exe`.

### 🖥️ CLI vs. GUI

Applications come in two types:

* **CLI (Command Line Interface)**: Uses the terminal (like Command Prompt).
* **GUI (Graphical User Interface)**: Uses visual windows and buttons.

> `Module-FiveM.exe` is a **CLI application**, meaning it must be run from **Command Prompt**.

### ▶️ How to Run a CLI Application

#### Step 1: Open Command Prompt as Administrator

1. Press `Windows Key`, search for **Command Prompt**.
2. Right-click and select **Run as administrator**.

#### Step 2: Navigate to the Folder

Use the `cd` command (which stands for *change directory*) to go to the folder where the file is located.

Examples:

* Desktop: 

  ```
  cd C:\Users\username\OneDrive\Desktop
  ```
* System32: 

  ```
  cd C:\Windows\System32
  ```
* Downloads: 

  ```
  cd C:\Users\username\Downloads
  ```

#### Step 3: Run the File with an Argument

Once you're in the correct folder, type:

```
Module-FiveM.exe <PIN>
```
