 as an optional dependency.
 
+Besides Olm, you need to configure some options when `createClient()` . These three options are required for enabling e2e crypto: `sessionStore` , `cryptoStore` and `deviceId` .
+
+For `sessionStore`, you need to provide a `WebStorageSessionStore` instance.
+
+To instantiate `WebStorageSessionStore` in a browser application:
+
+Choose from `window.sessionStorage` and `window.localStorage` to instantiate `WebStorageSessionStore`:
+
+- `sessionStore: new sdk.WebStorageSessionStore(localStorage)`
+
+To instantiate `WebStorageSessionStore` in a node.js application:
+
+The SDK does not provide an alternative solution for node.js application to store encrypted information with `WebStorageSessionStore`, but you can import a third-party npm package to mimic Web Storage API that runs on node.js like `node-localstorage` or implement your own`Storage` Object. The SDK specification requires a `Storage` implementation with `key`，`getItem`，`setItem`，`removeItem` and `length` method. The `Storage` Object can store data as a file or a local database.
+
+If you are still confused about mimicking Web Storage API, check out the `node-localstorage` solution provided by [this issue](https://github.com/matrix-org/matrix-js-sdk/issues/731#issuecomment-745344192).
+
+- `sessionStore: new sdk.WebStorageSessionStore(yourStorage)`
+
+For `cryptoStore`, you need to instantiate it with `IndexedDBCryptoStore`, `LocalStorageCryptoStore ` or `MemoryCryptoStore`. (choose according to your environment).
+
+- `cryptoStore: new sdk.MemoryCryptoStore()`
+
+Example:
+
+```javascript
+   const matrixClient = sdk.createClient({
+       baseUrl: "http://localhost:8008",
+       accessToken: myAccessToken,
+       userId: myUserId,
+       sessionStore: new sdk.WebStorageSessionStore(localStorage),
+  	   cryptoStore: new sdk.MemoryCryptoStore(),
+       deviceId: myDeviceId,
