# Step 8 — Configure the Resource

# Step 8 — Configure the Resource

Open the resource configuration files and configure them for your server.

Depending on the product, this can include:

- Framework
- Locale
- Inventory
- Target
- Notifications
- Text UI
- Database
- Permissions
- Integrations

Common configuration locations include:

```text
config.lua
config/
shared/config.lua
locales/
```

Protected Nord Forge builds are designed to keep supported configuration, locale and public files editable.

## Do not edit protected runtime files

If a runtime file is protected, do not attempt to remove or bypass the protection.

Use the exposed configuration files and documented APIs instead.
