**3. Copy the Setup Command**

You will see a command displayed in the setup instructions. Copy the command. It will look something like this:

```plaintext theme={null}
<(curl -sS localhost:7040/tpsetup)
```

> ***Note: This command might be different depending upon port availability. Checkout in Connected Apps > Terminal***

**4. Run the Command in Terminal**

Open the terminal where you will start your **Node.js server** and paste the copied command. Press **Enter** to execute it.

If the command runs successfully, you should see a confirmation message in your terminal indicating that **interception is enabled**.

2) Now Make a curl request to [**https://amiusing.requestly.io/**](https://amiusing.requestly.io/) using your terminal and look for that request in the **Network Traffic** tab.

```plaintext theme={null}
curl https://amiusing.requestly.io/
```
