Screenshot of Kolo from the Todo Demo app
## Quickstart Getting started with Kolo only takes a couple of minutes. The fastest way to understand what Kolo does and how it can be helpful is by trying it out on a codebase you work on. But if you're in a hurry or can't try Kolo on your own codebase, you can preview some functionality in our [playground](https://play.kolo.app). ### Trace a Django request _Trace a Django request for inspection, visualization, and debugging purposes._ 1. Install kolo using `pip install kolo` 2. Add `"kolo.middleware.KoloMiddleware"` to the top of your MIDDLEWARE list in settings.py 3. Start your Django server using `python manage.py runserver` and make a request to any page. 4. Browse to `localhost:8000/_kolo/` to view your traced request. It should look similar to the screenshot at the top of the page 🚀 (For a more in-depth version of this tutorial see [How to: Trace Django requests](https://docs.kolo.app/en/latest/howto/trace-django-requests.html)) ## Support If you have any questions or trouble getting set up with Kolo, please get in touch with us.
