# The Tracking Code

The tracking code is used to install FoxMetrics on a website or web app. When you click on the tracking option icon for each application, the tracking code for that application pops up.&#x20;

Typically, you won’t be able to access a [new application](/getting-started/setting-up-an-account/managing-applications.md#how-to-create-a-new-application) except there’s data flowing into it. And this requires installing/ implementing Foxmetrics.

To install Foxmetrics on your website using the tracking code, copy and paste the tracking code into the`<head>`tag of your site. The [Installation Guide](/getting-started/configure-foxmetrics.md) provides step-by-step instructions on how to **integrate FoxMetrics** on various platforms using Google Tag Manager.

Once you’ve [configured Foxmetrics](/getting-started/configure-foxmetrics.md) on your site, wait for 1 hour before trying to access the application.

{% hint style="info" %}
If there’s enough traffic coming to your site, it should start tracking after an hour.

However, if your site is new and you don’t have a ton of traffic, try clicking around the website to generate enough events to move you past the [application restriction](/getting-started/setting-up-an-account/accessibility-limitation.md).

{% hint style="success" %}
Once FoxMetrics is implemented, the tracking code warning (above) would change from **yellow** to **green**.
