# Integration

Learn how to integrate Croct into your Next.js project.

The fastest way to get started is through our [CLI](/reference/cli/installation). If you prefer to set it up manually, check out the [step-by-step instructions](/reference/sdk/nextjs/manual-installation).

## Run the command \[#install]

The recommended way to install the SDK is to use the Croct CLI.

**Command to initialize your project**

```sh
croct init
```

**That's it!** You can now jump to the part where you [render your first slot](/reference/sdk/nextjs/content-rendering).

## Check your integration \[#check]

If you open your application now, it should start sending events.

To check if your integration is working, go to the [Integration page](https://app.croct.com/redirect/organizations/-organization-/workspaces/-workspace-/applications/-application-/integration) of your application.

![Integration status](/assets/reference/sdk/integration-status.png)

When working correctly, you should see a green bullet next to the **Status** label saying **"Received traffic in the past 24 hours"**. If you still do not see this message after a few minutes, see the [Troubleshooting](troubleshooting) reference.
