# Step-by-Step Setup Guide

This guide walks you through the initial account setup, token generation, and connecting your first project to Seal Security.

## Account Creation & Token Generation

Follow these steps to access the platform and prepare your environment. If you already have a token, you can skip to the next section.

1. **Access the Invite:** Click on the **Sign in >** button in the Seal Security invite email you received.
2. **Log In:** Log in to the platform using your password or social login credentials.
3. **Start Onboarding:** We're starting the onboarding flow. Click **Next >** to begin.
4. **Generate Token:** First, you must generate a token to Seal's artifact server. This allows you to download our sealed versions.\
   ![Generate Token](/files/PavZ4q5NrXJse1vkrR0Y)
   1. **Generate:** Click on **Generate token**.
   2. **Copy:** Copy the newly generated token using the copy icon at the right of the text box.

      > **Important:** You will need this token later. While it should eventually be saved in a secure location (like a password manager or secret store), copy it now for immediate use in the next steps.
   3. **Continue:** Click **Next >**.
5. Click **Maybe later** to skip the GitHub integration.
6. **View Protection page:** You will land on the Protection screen.
   * **Status:** Since no projects are connected yet, we are not showing any results.
   * **Next Step:** We are now going to populate this data using the CLI. ![Empty Protection page](/files/Fgf0cjrcjNzbEzFu4thb)

## Configure the Artifact Server

To pull sealed versions, you must configure your environment to trust and prioritize Seal's repository. Choose the scenario that matches your infrastructure.

### Prerequisites

In all configurations below, you will need the following values:

* **`$SEAL_TOKEN`**: The Access Token you generated in the onboarding flow.
* **`$SEAL_PROJECT`**: Your Project ID (e.g., `my-first-project`). This is used for reporting usage.

### Configuration Steps:

Yum's configuration is saved in the `yum.repos.d` directory.

1. Create a file with Seal's GPG key by creating `/etc/pki/rpm-gpg/RPM-GPG-KEY-SEAL-SECURITY` with the following content:

   ```

   ```
2. Identify the name of the distribution using the ID field in the output (for example: centos, rhel, etc.):

   ```bash
   cat /etc/os-release
   ```
3. Create a new file `/etc/yum.repos.d/seal.repo` with the following content:

   ```ini
   [seal]
   name=seal
   baseurl=https://rpm.sealsecurity.io/<DISTRO>/$releasever/seal/noprefix/$basearch/
   username=$SEAL_PROJECT
   password=$SEAL_TOKEN
   enabled=1
   gpgcheck=1
   gpgkey=file:///etc/pki/rpm-gpg/RPM-GPG-KEY-SEAL-SECURITY
   ```

## Sealing a package

Once you have integrated the Seal artifact server into your pipeline, follow these steps to see the results.
