2. Run npm install (in the project directory)
3. Create a .env file in the project directory
4. Set relevant environment variables in .env (see .env.example)

1. In your own project directory, run npm install stream-pad
2. In your project, import the run function ( const { run } = require('stream-pad);)
3. Call run with up to 3 optional arguments (obs-websocket's hostname, port & password);

In all cases, obs-websocket's default hostname is "localhost", and the default port is 4444;
