Installing Apptimize into your application or website takes only a 
matter of minutes, regardless of the platform.

When you log-in to Apptimize for the first time, you will be prompted 
to :ref:`create an application<app_creation>`.

Once, you've created an application, you can quickly install the 
relevant SDKs for your tech stack manually or via the relevant package/dependency 
manager for each platform as described on each SDK's installation page. Apptimize 
supports the following SDKs:

**Client-Side SDKs:**

* :ref:`Android (Including Wear OS, Android TV and Amazon Fire TV)<installation_android>`
* :ref:`iOS (Including macOS [Catalyst], tvOS / Apple TV and watchOS / Apple Watch)<installation_ios>`
* :ref:`Flutter (iOS & Android only)<installation_flutter>`
* :ref:`JavaScript (Web, Mobile-Web, Hybrid Mobile)<installation_js>`
* :ref:`React Native (Mobile)<installation_react_native>`
* :ref:`Roku<installation_roku>`

**Server-Side SDKs:**

* :ref:`Java (Server)<installation_java>`
* :ref:`Node.js (Server)<installation_nodejs>`
* :ref:`Python (Server)<installation_python>`


In addition, Apptimize provides a :ref:`REST-based endpoint<rest_api>` that allows for the execution of
experiments and creation of user events on any platform.
