# Add and configure a Player Input component
|
|
|
|
To use the Input System package with Visual Scripting, add a Player Input component to the same GameObject as the Script Graph and create an Input Actions asset.
|
|
|
|
You must add the Player Input component and create the Input Actions asset before you create the Script Graph.
|
|
|
|
> [!NOTE]
|
|
> If the Input System package isn't installed in your project, follow the Input System documentation's [Installation guide](https://docs.unity3d.com/Packages/com.unity.inputsystem@latest/index.html?subfolder=/manual/Installation.html) to install the package. Go to **Window** > **Package Manager** to check your installed packages.
