 2. Configure your Continuous Integration service to [run **semantic-release**](./ci-configuration.md#run-semantic-release-only-after-all-tests-succeeded)
 3. Configure your Git repository and package manager repository [authentication](ci-configuration.md#authentication) in your Continuous Integration service
 4. Configure **semantic-release** [options and plugins](./configuration.md#configuration)
