Welcome to Nightfall! This guide is intended to help you install and set up Nightfall in a matter of minutes on your own. Within 24 hours of you signing on to be a customer, you will receive an invitation in your inbox to access your newly created account.

Once you receive your account, review the following pages in this guide to get set up.

## **Installation**

Get ready to install by reviewing the [Requirements](https://help.nightfall.ai/slack/getting_started/requirements). Go through the installation flow, depending on your Slack plan type:

* [Slack Pro](https://help.nightfall.ai/slack/getting_started/install/slack_pro)
* [Slack Enterprise ](https://help.nightfall.ai/slack/getting_started/install/slack_enterprise)

## Configuring Detection

Next, use the Detection Wizard to set up the right Detection Rules for your organization in your Nightfall dashboard. You can learn more about and access the **Detection Wizard** [**here**](https://help.nightfall.ai/nightfall-ai/detection-engine/detectors).

Once you’ve generated your Detection Rules with the Wizard, configure them on your Nightfall Dashboard.

On the [Detection Rules page](https://app.nightfall.ai/detection-engine/detection-rules), copy the Detection Rule UUIDs that you wish to use for DLP scanning.

## Configuring Alerts

Nightfall allows multiple methods of receiving alerts, via Slack, email, webhooks, or Jira tickets. Review the Configuring Alerts section to learn more.

## Test Detection

To confirm that sensitive data is getting scanned by Nightfall, you can run a few tests with Nightfall-provided sample data. In doing so, you will see Violations populate on the Nightfall dashboard on [the Violations page](https://app.nightfall.ai/violations). You'll also start to see high-level metrics aggregate on [the Nightfall Dashboard page](https://app.nightfall.ai/dashboard).

To test detection, we recommend the following tutorials:

1. [Learn How Detection Works](https://help.nightfall.ai/detection_platform/overview_platform)
2. [Use Sample Data from the Nightfall Library to Test Detection](https://help.nightfall.ai/nightfall_policy_templates/sample_data)
