# Your first planned article From install to your first planned article in five minutes. Before you start: a [Recala beta account](https://recala.co/register/) with an organization. These steps plan work; generation and publication take place on your configured schedule. ## 1Install the CLI ``` curl -fsSL https://recala.co/install.sh | sh ``` **What you’ll see** The installer adds the Recala command to your machine. **If it goes wrong** Open a new terminal if the command is not found, or use uv or pipx from the install reference. The script needs uv or pipx. Install uv first if neither is available. With pipx, use Python 3.11 or newer. [Other install methods](https://recala.co/developers/cli/#install) ## 2Sign in ``` recala login ``` **What you’ll see** A browser link and a one-time code. Sign in, type the code and approve the request. **If it goes wrong** If the code expires, run this command again and use the new code. ## 3Choose your organization ``` recala org use ``` **What you’ll see** Your chosen organization becomes the default. Replace with its name, slug or id. **If it goes wrong** List your organizations below, then use a name you have access to. **Find your organization** ``` recala org list ``` ## 4See your calendar ``` recala plan --weeks 2 ``` **What you’ll see** A read-only preview of the next two weeks: publication slots, topics and their state. **If it goes wrong** If there are no slots, set a cadence using the autopilot guide. ## 5Keep topics for Up next ``` recala topics list ``` **What you’ll see** Your topic queue and the ids you can use to keep a topic. **If it goes wrong** If the queue is empty, add a buyer question below or finish onboarding in the web app. Choose a topic to keep. Replace the id, then confirm when asked. ``` recala topics approve ``` **Add your first topic** ``` recala topics add "What should a buyer know before choosing our product?" ``` ## 6Let it run ``` recala cadence show ``` **What you’ll see** Your publication days, local time, timezone and whether autopilot is on. **If it goes wrong** If no cadence is configured, follow the autopilot guide before enabling automatic approval. **Enable automatic approval when you are ready** An owner can enable this after choosing an active signing person. Passing drafts will be approved in that person’s name. Autopilot and automatic approval are separate settings. ``` recala autoapprove on ``` [Configure the cadence, author and approval policy](https://recala.co/developers/guides/autopilot/). ## Choose what happens next [01 ### Run your blog on autopilot Set publication days and decide how drafts are approved. →](https://recala.co/developers/guides/autopilot/) [02 ### Review your first article Read the draft and check the person who signs it. →](https://recala.co/developers/guides/review/)
