+## Requirements

+### Initial Setup
 
-License and warranty
---------------------
+Download the `global-functions-custom-phg.rsc` script:
+
+```rsc
+$ScriptInstallUpdate global-functions-custom-phg "base-url=https://git.s1q.dev/phg/routeros-scripts-custom/raw/branch/main/";
+```
+
+And finally load my custom functions and add a scheduler to load them on each startup.
+
+```rsc
+/system/script/run global-functions-custom-phg;
+/system/scheduler/add name="global-scripts-custom-phg" start-time=startup on-event="/system/script/run global-functions-custom-phg;";
+```
+
+### Adding a script
+
+To add a script from the repository run function `$ScriptInstallUpdate` with a comma separated list of script names, as well as the parameter `"base-url=https://git.s1q.dev/phg/routeros-scripts-custom/raw/branch/main/"`.
