# Deploy PlayerZero

> Use PlayerZero to monitor, diagnose, and resolve software issues before they reach your users.

## Prerequisites

1. A PlayerZero account – you can get started by [**creating an account**](https://playerzero.ai/).
2. Sufficient permissions to grant PlayerZero read access to your code and read/write access for managing pull requests in your SCM (Source Control Management) system.

<Note>To connect SCM systems, admin permissions are required on the repository you want to integrate.</Note>

## Process

<Steps>
  <Step title="Create or Join a Project">
    Inside the PlayerZero platform, create a new project or join an existing project (project owners can invite new users through email).
  </Step>

  <Step title="Connect Your Code">
    Grant PlayerZero read access to your code and read/write access for managing pull requests in your SCM system.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Enable Specific Repositories">
    Select which repositories PlayerZero should monitor.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Allow for Processing">
    PlayerZero begins processing data to surface relevant insights.
  </Step>
</Steps>

## **Create or Join a Project**

### **If you're creating a project for the first time**

1. [Create an account](https://playerzero.ai)
2. Name and create a workspace
   <Note> If you want other teammembers with the same email domain to be able to automatically join, check the "Allow anyone with @domain emails to join this project." box.</Note>

### **If you're joining an existing project**

1. [Create an account](https://playerzero.ai)
2. If sharing has been setup correctly for the desired project, the name of the project will appear.
   <Note>If you do not see the "Join an existing project" option, but rather just the "Create a new project" option, then contact your project admin and ask them to either invite you directly or enable domain sharing.</Note>

### **If you want to create/join an additional project**

At the top-left of the PlayerZero portal, select the option to create/join a new project. If you don't see the project you're looking for listed, contact your project admin and ask them to either invite you directly or enable domain sharing.

## Connect & Enable Repositories

To connect PlayerZero to your version control and select which repositories to monitor, follow the guide for your SCM:

* **GitHub** – [GitHub Integration Guide](/developer-guide/configuration-guides/importing-code/github)
* **GitLab** – [GitLab Integration Guide](/developer-guide/configuration-guides/importing-code/gitlab)
* **Bitbucket** – [Bitbucket Integration Guide](/developer-guide/configuration-guides/importing-code/bitbucket)
* **Azure DevOps** – [Azure DevOps Integration Guide](/developer-guide/configuration-guides/importing-code/azure)

Each guide walks you through:

1. Authorizing PlayerZero with the required permissions
2. Picking the repositories (and primary branch) you’d like PlayerZero to analyze

<Note>Admin permissions are required on the repositories you connect.</Note>

## Allow for Ingestion

Once you’ve enabled your repositories, PlayerZero will begin analyzing the code to surface relevant insights. This process can take anywhere from a few minutes to several hours, depending on the size and complexity of your repositories.

## Next Steps

Congratulations! Now that you’re up and running, here are the next steps to get the most out of PlayerZero:

* [**Invite Your Team**](https://playerzero.ai/pz/settings/projects/playerzero/members) – Add team members to collaborate on issue tracking and resolution.
* [**Integrate with Ticketing Services**](https://playerzero.ai/pz/settings/projects/playerzero/integrations) – Connect PlayerZero to Jira, Azure DevOps, or other tools to sync issues with your workflow.
* [**Instrument the WebSDK**](/developer-guide/configuration-guides/capturing-user-sessions/web-sdk-instrumentation) – Enable user session tracking by integrating PlayerZero’s frontend WebSDK.
