# Installation Install the npm package into your application. ``` npm i @node-ts/bus-core @node-ts/bus-messages --save ``` Configure and initialize the bus when your application starts up. ```typescript import { Bus } from '@node-ts/bus-core' ​ async function run () { const bus = await Bus.configure().initialize() } ``` This is the most basic of setups and your app is running an in memory queue capable of receiving messages from itself. In production, it's strongly recommended to [configure a transport](broken://pages/-MkbAMS7a-WL5iUiT-q6) so that your application can be distributed and survive restarts. --- # Agent Instructions: Querying This Documentation If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.
