# Getting Started

Your shortcut through the MOVE platform into a runnable app is:

1. register and create a project in the [MOVE Dashboard](https://dashboard.movesdk.com/)
2. obtain the productId and API key from the [configuration page](#configuration-add-move-features) of your new MOVE project
3. clone the code sample app ([Android](https://docs.movesdk.com/move-platform/move-sdk-1.x/sdk/getting-started/android) and [iOS](https://docs.movesdk.com/move-platform/move-sdk-1.x/sdk/getting-started/ios-1)), adapt the productId and API key to your project
4. install the app on your mobile phone, take the phone everywhere you go for a couple of days
5. check the results in the [MOVE timeline](#timeline-explore-user-contracts)

You can check out our sample app on [Bitbucket](https://bitbucket.org/dolphin-technologies/workspace/projects/MS)! 

With your product id and API key you can get this up and running in merely a few minutes.

After installing and running MOVE on your mobile phone, make sure that the OS allows MOVE to operate:

* all [permissions](https://docs.movesdk.com/move-platform/move-sdk-1.x/sdk/models/movestate) are given
* for Android: all battery settings are set to allow MOVE to work in the background
* check in the [timeline of the MOVE Dashboard,](#timeline-explore-user-contracts) whether there is a basic connection, by searching for your contract ID (defined in the registration after installing on the phone)
* take the phone everywhere you go for a couple of days\
  (MOVE needs some minimum activity outdoors before it starts recording, so you have to actually walk, make a car trip, take the subway, or do whatever MOVE feature you are interested in for 5 minutes or longer)
