# Launch TeamSpeak 3
# Open the plugins menu under "settings", and enable Task Force Arma 3 Radio.
# If you do not see the plugin, click "Reload All".
 
You're done setting up TeamSpeak 3! Onto installing the mods!
 
===Installing the CavPack with Arma3Sync===
Installing CavPack with Arma3Sync is super simple, follow along closely and you'll have no issues.
 
# Download and Install Arma3Sync.
# When you first open Arma3Sync, it will ask you to locate your Arma 3 executable.
## Arma 3 is located in Steam\steamapps\common\Arma 3.
# Once you've selected your install directory, click the "Repositories" tab.
# Click the blue plus icon on the right hand side to add a Repo.
# Paste in the following URL for "Public auto-config url" and click "Import"
## https://downloads.7cav.us/arma/cavpack/.a3s/autoconfig
## If it gives you an error the first time, try it once more.
## You'll know it has succeeded when the repository name and host fields are populated with info.
