  <Step title="Step Four">
    Ensure the extracted folder contains both **scrcpy** and **adb**.

  <Step title="Step Five">
    (Optional) Add the folder to your system’s **Path Environment Variable** for easy access.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Step Six">
    Open Command Prompt and test with `scrcpy -v` and `adb version`.
  </Step>
</Steps>
