# Cordova SDK setup

Install and initialize Gleap in your application with the Gleap Cordova SDK. Follow the integration code examples.

The Gleap SDK for Cordova is the easiest way to integrate Gleap into your apps. Communicate with your users directly and build better software by discovering their everyday pain points. Gleap is your all-in-one customer feedback tool for apps and websites.

For the SDK to work, you need an API key, which you can get for free at [app.gleap.ai](https://app.gleap.ai).

## 🏗 Installation

Install the **Gleap** package via the cordova CLI.

```js
cordova plugin add cordova-plugin-gleap
```

Initialize the Gleap SDK on device ready.

```js
function onDeviceReady() {
  // Cordova is now initialized.
  // Initialize the Gleap SDK & have fun!
  cordova.plugins.GleapPlugin.initialize("YOUR_API_KEY");
}
```

The Gleap Cordova plugin works for both **Android** and **iOS**.

> **Info:** Please have a look into our [JavaScript SDK](https://gleap-developer-docs.gleap.help/en/articles/393-javascript-sdk-setup) to learn how to include Gleap into your web app.

> **Note:** [Data regions](https://gleap-developer-docs.gleap.help/en/articles/711-data-regions) are not supported by this SDK yet. It always connects to the EU region.
