# Quick configuration {#quickconfiguration}

## Include TypoScript template {#include-typoscript-template}

It is necessary to include at least the basic TypoScript provided by this
extension.

Go module **Web > Template** and chose your root page. It should
already contain a TypoScript template record. Switch to view
**Info/Modify** and click on **Edit the whole template record**.

Switch to tab **Includes** and add the following templates from the list
to the right: **News (news)**. It is possible to include additional
templates provided by the news extension depending on your use case. For example
you can additionally chose **News Styles Twitter Bootstrap V5 (news)**
to use templates for the css framework Bootstrap in version 5.
