# Getting started with AngularFire and Universal
Server-side rendering (SSR) is the process of converting a JavaScript app to plain HTML at request-time, allowing search engine crawlers and linkbots to understand page content reliably.
## 0. Prerequisites
- @angular/cli >= v6.0
- @angular/fire >= v5.0.0
## 1. Add Angular Universal to your project
Follow the steps from the [Angular Universal Tutorial](https://angular.io/guide/universal) to add Universal to your
project.
```
ng add @nguniversal/express-engine
```
This will create all the files you need and setup all the configurations for Universal rendering for your application.
## 2. Next Steps
Test your app locally by running `npm run dev:ssr`.
_Note: `dev:ssr` is a command that was added to your `package.json` by the `ng add` command that will run the dev server
for your Angular with Universal._
### [Next Step: Deploying your Universal application on Cloud Functions for Firebase](cloud-functions.md)
