+4. Click on the "Run workflow" button.
+5. Set the config variables in the drop down:
+    - **supertokens-core repo owner name**: If you have forked the supertokens-core repo, then set the value of this to your github username.
+    - **supertokens-plugin-interface repo owner name**: If you have forked the supertokens-plugin-interface repo, then set the value of this to your github username.
+    - **supertokens-plugin-interface repos branch name**: If the core version you are working on is compatible with a plugin-interface version that is not in the master branch, then set the correct branch name in this value.
+6. Click on "Run workflow".
