  ```csharp
     [DependsOn(
          typeof(AbpVirtualFileExplorerWebModule),
          typeof(MyProjectApplicationModule),
          typeof(MyProjectEntityFrameworkCoreModule),
          typeof(AbpAutofacModule),
          typeof(AbpIdentityWebModule),
          typeof(AbpAccountWebModule),
          typeof(AbpAspNetCoreMvcUiBasicThemeModule)
      )]
      public class MyProjectWebModule : AbpModule
      {
          //...
      }
  ```

##### 2.2- Adding NPM Package

 * Open `package.json` and add `@abp/virtual-file-explorer": "^2.9.0` as shown below:

  ```json
    {
        "version": "1.0.0",
        "name": "my-app",

            "@abp/virtual-file-explorer": "^2.9.0"

    }
  ```
