!!! tip
    Keep an eye on your server console during the first startup with Verité. Verify that Verité loads successfully, and check for any warnings or errors that may indicate a configuration or compatibility issue.

    If your server intercepts chat messages and handles or styles them itself, your setup isn't quite finished yet! Follow our [Custom Chat Integration guide](page:developers/wiring) to finish configuring Verité.
