**Installation**

After signing up, you’ll be taken to the Getting Started page. The required steps to install the *Code Agent Integration Package* called *Overwatch* on your local machine are below:

* Open the terminal on your system
* Install the Overwatch package globally

```
npm install -g @highflame/overwatch
```

> *Note: when you run the above command it will try to open a web browser and redirect you to highflame for authentication.*

* Start Overwatch

```
overwatch start
```

Voilá! Now you have successfully installed the Overwatch package, and you don't need to configure anything else; you can continue with your development workflow as usual.
{% endstep %}

{% step %}
**Accessing Local Dashboard**

* To view the key stats locally on your system, please run:

```
overwatch status
```

> Click on the url shown in the terminal output to see the key stats. The url will look like this: `http://localhost:<port>/dashboard`

The local dashboard will look something like this:

<figure><img src="/files/Njrs2TLmaxhan0TOJzKH" alt=""><figcaption><p>local dasbord</p></figcaption></figure>

The dashboard shows:

* **Sessions:** IDE sessions with event counts and threat counts.
* **Threats:** Blocked or flagged events (e.g., command injection, secrets).
* **Commands:** Shell and tool executions.
* **Events:** Full event stream.
* **MCP Scans:** Results of `overwatch scan` (servers, issues, severity).

> *Note: If you are the admin of the organization, please refer to* [*Discovery & Metrics*](/code-agents/discovery-and-metrics.md)
