# Hello World

> Learn how to quickly get started with `Configu`. We'll use the `Configu CLI` and the `Configu ConfigStore` (Configu Platform) to declare, initialize, and export a simple set of configuration data.

### 1. Install Configu CLI

<CodeGroup>
  ```shell Linux theme={null}
  curl https://files.configu.com/cli/install.sh | sh
  ```

  ```shell MacOS theme={null}
  curl https://files.configu.com/cli/install.sh | sh
  ```

  ```powershell Windows theme={null}
  irm https://files.configu.com/cli/install.ps1 | iex
  ```
</CodeGroup>

### 2. Declare your first ConfigSchema

```shell theme={null}
configu init --hello-world
```

### 3. Connect to Configu ConfigStore

```shell theme={null}
configu login
```

<Info>
  The [Configu `ConfigStore`](https://app.configu.com/) is a convenient way to get started with Configu, especially for users who are new to the tool. It is a configuration management platform that is easy to use and requires minimal setup, with a free starter plan option.

  To get started with [Configu Platform](https://app.configu.com/), you'll need to [register and create a new organization](https://app.configu.com/).
</Info>

<Tip>
  It's important to note that [Configu Platform](https://app.configu.com/) is just one of many options for storing and
  managing configuration data with Configu. If you have specific requirements or preferences, you may wish to explore
  other [ConfigStore options](/integrations/overview#configstore), such as using a database, a secret manager, a feature
  flag system, or your own custom implementation.
</Tip>

### 4. Upsert Configs to ConfigSet

```shell theme={null}
configu upsert \
  --store 'configu' --set 'development' --schema './start.cfgu.json' \
  --kv "GREETING=hey" --kv "SUBJECT=<YOUR_NAME>" \
&& configu upsert \
  --store 'configu' --set 'development/qa' --schema './start.cfgu.json' \
  -kv "GREETING=hola" \
&& configu upsert \
  --store 'configu' --set 'production' --schema './start.cfgu.json' \
  -kv "GREETING=welcome"
```

### 5. Export the configuration data

```shell theme={null}
configu eval \
  --store 'configu' --set 'development/qa' --schema './start.cfgu.json' \
| configu export \
  --format "Dotenv" \
> ".env"
```

As a result, you will get a `.env` file with the configurations declared in the "get-started" ConfigSchema and their values from the "test" ConfigSet.

```.env theme={null}
GREETING=welcome
SUBJECT=<YOUR_NAME>
MESSAGE=welcome, <YOUR_NAME>!
```

That's it! You now have a simple set of configuration data stored in the [Configu Cloud](https://app.configu.com/), ready to be used in your application.
