+5. Add configurations for themis coprocessor in hbase-site.xml:
+
+```
+<property>
+    <name>hbase.coprocessor.user.region.classes</name>
+    <value>org.apache.hadoop.hbase.themis.cp.ThemisEndpoint,org.apache.hadoop.hbase.themis.cp.ThemisScanObserver,org.apache.hadoop.hbase.regionserver.ThemisRegionObserver</value>
