# Installing the EA and the required Files

Find your MT4 terminal folder.

Usually: *C:\Users<USER>\AppData\Roaming\MetaQuotes\Terminal<ID>*

Put the .ex4 files into the Experts folder in your MT4 directory. (….*\MQL4\Experts*)

If your EA uses telegram notifications add the Telegram4Mql.dll into the libraries directory (….*\MQL4\Libraries)*

To use the EAs you will need to allow web requests from [http://www.bluecapitaltrading.com/](http://www.bluecapitaltrading.com/)

First you need to open Tools>Options and click on the “Expert Advisors” tab.

Once there you need to check “Allow WebRequest from listed URL:”

And then add the [http://www.bluecapitaltrading.com/](http://www.bluecapitaltrading.com/) URLs to the list.
