- There are a few things you need to do, in order for the bridge (at least up to version `0.2.0`) to work. Before following the bridge installation guide, you need to map apply a patch to bridges `portal.py`. Go to [portal.py](https://github.com/mautrix/signal/blob/master/mautrix_signal/portal.py) at [mautrix-signal](https://github.com/mautrix/signal) (don't forget to change to the correct commit/version of the file) and copy its content, create a `portal.py` on your host system and paste it in. Now you need to change two lines:
There are a few things you need to do, in order for the bridge (at least up to version `0.2.0`) to work. Before following the bridge installation guide, you need to map apply a patch to bridges `portal.py`. How you do this depends upon whether you are running the bridge in `Docker` or `virtualenv`.
--- levels.users[self.main_intent.mxid] = 9001 if is_initial else 100
- Find / create the changed file:

- For Docker:
```
- Go to [portal.py](https://github.com/mautrix/signal/blob/master/mautrix_signal/portal.py) at [mautrix-signal](https://github.com/mautrix/signal) (don't forget to change to the correct commit/version of the file) and copy its content, create a `portal.py` on your host system and paste it in
- For virtualenv
and add a new line between [Lines 1041 and 1042](https://github.com/mautrix/signal/blob/4ea831536f154aba6419d13292479eb383ea3308/mautrix_signal/portal.py#L1041-L1042)
- Find `./lib/python3.7/site-packages/mautrix_signal/portal.py` (the exact version of Python may be different on your system).
- Once you have `portal.py` you now need to change two lines. Lines numbers given here are approximate, you may need to look nearby:
```diff
- [Edit Line 1020](https://github.com/mautrix/signal/blob/4ea831536f154aba6419d13292479eb383ea3308/mautrix_signal/portal.py#L1020)
"type": str(EventType.ROOM_POWER_LEVELS),
```diff
+++ "state_key": "",
--- levels.users[self.main_intent.mxid] = 9001 if is_initial else 100
"content": power_levels.serialize(),
+++ levels.users[self.main_intent.mxid] = 100 if is_initial else 100
```
```
- Add a new line between [Lines 1041 and 1042](https://github.com/mautrix/signal/blob/4ea831536f154aba6419d13292479eb383ea3308/mautrix_signal/portal.py#L1041-L1042)
Now you just need to map the patched `portal.py` into the `mautrix-signal` container
