Installing the Freshpaint Javascript SDK to the production website has to be done by a technical user. It usually takes about five minutes to install. If you are a non-technical user, you can still try out Freshpaint by locally installing the chrome extension. For deploying to production you should invite a technical teammate to your account and have them install Freshpaint. Once installed (either locally or on production), a non-technical user can use the autotrack source to control and manage data without assistance from a technical user.
To install Freshpaint, go to the sources page in Freshpaint:
From the sources page click on configure next to the Autotrack source. This will pull up the code for the Freshpaint SDK:
Copy the snippet into the <head> of your site. That's it!
If your application uses Next.js, you will need to add an id attribute to the script tag of the Autotrack snippet, such as <script type="text/javascript" id="freshpaint-script">.

If you navigate to your site in another tab and click around, you should see the actions you're performing show up in the liveview:
Once you see data coming through, you have successfully installed Freshpaint.
