  <Step>
    Navigate to the main directory of your project folder using `cd yourprojectname`.
  </Step>

  <Step>
    Download our proxy middleware using the following command:

    <CodeGroup>
      ```shellscript cURL theme={null}
      curl https://raw.githubusercontent.com/decodo/Scrapy-Middleware/master/decodo_auth.py > decodo_auth.py

  <Step>
    You should now see that your project folder contains the **decodo\_auth.py** file.

    Add the following properties at the bottom:

    <CodeGroup>
      ```text Properties theme={null}
      DOWNLOADER_MIDDLEWARES = {

          'yourprojectname.decodo_auth.ProxyMiddleware': 100,
      }
