# Part 1: Setup

## What Will You Do

This is Part 1 of a multi-part, self-paced quick start exercise. In this part, you will perform a few "one-time" tasks. Declarative specifications are provided for the exercise so that you can get started with just a few commands.

Important

If you want to follow the Web Console/UI based approach for this exercise, you can skip this part and proceed to [Step 2](https://docs.rafay.co/learn/quickstart/opa_gatekeeper/policy/)

## Step 1: Download RCTL

The RCTL CLI allows you to programmatically interact with the controller enabling users to construct sophisticated automation workflows.

- Login into your Org
- Navigate to "My Tools" to download both the [RCTL CLI](https://docs.rafay.co/cli/overview/) and the "CLI Config" file
- Initialize RCTL using the [step-by-step instructions](https://docs.rafay.co/cli/config/)
- Ensure you update your OS's Path environment variable for RCTL
