## Install

Sentry captures data by using an SDK within your application’s runtime.

## Configure

<PlatformSection notSupported={["unity"]}>

Configuration should happen as early as possible in your application's lifecycle.

</PlatformSection>

<PlatformContent includePath="getting-started-config" />

## Verify

This snippet includes an intentional error, so you can test that everything is working as soon as you set it up:

To view and resolve the recorded error, log into [sentry.io](https://sentry.io) and open your project. Clicking on the error's title will open a page where you can see detailed information and mark it as resolved.
