# How to add Fathom Analytics to your Remix.run app
Building a website using the Remix.run web app framework? This tutorial will teach you how to add privacy-first analytics to your Remix site with Fathom.
## How to set up Fathom on your Remix site
1. Sign into your account with [Fathom](https://usefathom.com/login), and create a new site.
2. Open the settings for that site, and look for *Script settings*. Hit the clipboard icon to copy the Script tag for your site.
*You site's embed code will be on the script settings page. Hit the clipboard button to copy the code*
3. Open up your Remix site in your IDE of choice. open `root.tsx` (or `root.jsx` if you're using JavaScript instead of TypeScript), and paste your embed code right before the `` tag:
```jsx
return (
);
```
*Note: ☝🏽 I've edited the ``. It should work either way.*
4. Start your site with `npm run dev` or `yarn dev` and visit any page (you may have to hit reload if you had the page open already). You should see this reflected in your fathom dashboard in real time!
*You'll know it's working when you see a live visitor on your fathom dashboard*
