  </Step>

  <Step title="Verify Installation">
    ```bash theme={null}

  </Step>

  <Step title="Quick Start">
    To get started with Weave, run

    ```bash theme={null}
    weave init
    ```

    It will ask you to set up the [Gas Station](/developers/developer-guides/tools/clis/weave-cli/gas-station) account and ask which infrastructure you want to set up.
    After that, Weave will guide you through the setup process step-by-step.

    <Note>
      Read the [Gas Station](/developers/developer-guides/tools/clis/weave-cli/gas-station) section to understand the purpose and usage of the Gas Station before proceeding.
    </Note>
  </Step>

  By default, Weave collects non-identifiable usage data to help improve the product. If you prefer not to share this data, you can opt out by running the following command:

  ```bash theme={null}
  weave analytics disable
  ```
