# Quickstart

> Create an installation, install clabs, and see your first events.

## What you need

* A CorporateLabs account at [console.corporatelabs.ai](https://console.corporatelabs.ai)
* A Linux or macOS machine (or a GitHub Actions runner) with outbound HTTPS

## Get your first events

<Steps>
  <Step title="Create an installation">
    Open the console → **Installations** → **New installation**.

    Pick a type that matches how you will run:

    * **clabs CLI** — laptop or server
    * **GitHub Actions** — CI workflow

    Copy the **access key** when it appears. It is shown only once.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Install the CLI">
    ```bash theme={null}
    curl -fsSL https://install.corporatelabs.ai/install.sh | sh
    clabs version
    ```

    If `clabs` is not found, add `~/.local/bin` to your `PATH` (the installer prints a hint).
  </Step>

  <Step title="Send a one-shot scan">
    ```bash theme={null}
    export CLABS_ACCESS_KEY='clt_…'   # paste the key from the console
    clabs run -once
    ```
  </Step>

  <Step title="Check the console">
    Open **Events**. You should see new rows for this host.

    Optional: open **Hosts** to see the machine listed by hostname.
  </Step>
</Steps>

<Check>
  Events always belong to the installation that owns your access key. You do not pass an org or installation id on the command line.
