4. Antares account. With an Antares account you can access the Antares console and get an **access key**.

{% hint style="info" %}
f you don't have an Antares account, you can [register here](https://console.antares.id/register) by following the [Antares Account Registration ](https://docs.antares.id/pendahuluan/registrasi-akun)tutorial.
{% endhint %}

5. Have **Application and Device** in the Antares Console on your Account.

{% hint style="info" %}
To create an Application, you can follow the [Tutorial on Creating Applications](https://docs.antares.id/pendahuluan/buat-app) and to add devices, you can follow the <mark style="color:blue;">T</mark>[utorial on Adding Devices.](https://docs.antares.id/pendahuluan/tambah-device-ke-application)
