### Using CommonJS Modules
If you're using CommonJS modules, run the following command in your project directory:

```
After installing the package, require it in your app:
```js label="JavaScript"
const StreamAnalytics = require("stream-analytics");
```
### Client Setup
The snippet below shows you how to initialize Stream's analytics client:
```js label="JavaScript"
const client = new StreamAnalytics({
apiKey: "{{ api_key }}",
token: "{{ analytics_token }}",
});
// Above snippet uses US by default, you can also set to other regions.
// dublin
const client = new StreamAnalytics({
baseUrl: "https://dublin-analytics.stream-io-api.com/analytics/v1.0/",
apiKey: "{{ api_key }}",
token: "{{ analytics_token }}",
});
```
Bind the service in your application's `manifest.xml` :
```xml label="XML"
```
Always specify the current user before sending events:
```js label="JavaScript"
// user id and a friendly alias for easier to read reports
client.setUser({ id: 486892, alias: "Julian" });
```
