## Configuring GitHub Classroom in another learning management system
Even if your learning management system (LMS) is not listed, there's a good chance it's still compatible with GitHub Classroom. Once you have [the credentials generated by GitHub Classroom](/help/generate-lms-credentials), log in to your institution’s learning management system. These steps will walk you through the high-level overview of configuring GitHub Classroom as an external tool within your learning management system.
### Prerequisites
Before you begin you need:
1. An LTI-compliant (v1.0/1.1) learning management system
1. [Credentials generated by GitHub Classroom](/help/generate-lms-credentials) (keep this page easily accessible during
the configuration process)

* Secret key
* Launch URL (sometimes called _tool URL_ or similar)
When you have successfully linked GitHub Classroom to your LMS, you should be directed the following screen:
