# Quickstart

This introduction assumes you are already using dbt in your company and tables you would like to monitor are managed by dbt. To fully use stealthward you need to install both:

* [Stealthward DBT Package](#stealthward-dbt-package)
* [Stealthward Python Package](#stealthward-python-package)

We'll go over the steps required to do that & explain what possibilities those packages create for you.

## Stealthward DBT Package

Add the stealthward dbt pakcage to your main dbt repo project. You need to update your **`packages.yml`** file with stealthward package like that:

```yaml
packages:
    ***
    - package: stealthward/stealet
      version: [">=0.0.1"]
```

and then install dbt packages dependencies by running:

```bash
dbt deps
```

You can do it locally, in your dbt cloud environment, or Airflow etc. scheduler environment.

**INFO**

On production, you most likely are already running **`dbt deps`** as part of dbt models computation. So this step maybe only necessary for your local environment.

At last, maybe [Sheenflow](https://ciusji.gitbook.io/sheenflow/) is also a nice choice schedule jobs.
