1. Include a reference to the ADL wrapper library. This is available from the ADL Github site - See https://github.com/adlnet/xAPIWrapper/tree/master/dist ).

<script src="Scripts/xapiwrapper.min.js"></script>

2. Include a reference to cmi5Controller.js. This is available from the ADL Github site - See https://github.com/adlnet/cmi5-Client-Library/tree/master/Examples/Scripts

4. Parse launch parameters passed on the URL Launch line and set properties of the cmi5 controller.

   cmi5Controller.setEndPoint(parse("endpoint"));

   cmi5Controller.setRegistration(parse("registration"));

   cmi5Controller.setActivityId(parse("activityid"));

   cmi5Controller.setActor(parse("actor"));

5. Call the cmi5Controller.startUp() method. Two call back functions are passed:

   a. cmi5Ready......This function is called once the controller has fetched the authorization token, read the State document and the agent Profile.

   d. Issue the initialized Statement

   e. SendStatement("Initialized");
