# SnapLogic

## Prerequisites

Before you can configure and use SnapLogic with Connect AI, you must first connect a data source to your Connect AI account. See [Sources](/en/Sources) for more information.

You must also generate a Personal Access Token (PAT) on the [Settings](/en/Settings#personal-access-tokens) page. Copy this down, as it acts as your password during authentication.

<Steps>
  <Step>
    Download and install the Connect AI JDBC driver.

    a. Open the **Integrations** page of Connect AI.

    b. In the **Dev Tools** section, click **JDBC**.

    c. Download and run the setup file.

    d. When the installation is complete, the JAR file can be found in the installation directory. The default directory is `C:/Program Files/CData/CData Connect JDBC driver/lib`.
  </Step>

  <Step>
    Log in to SnapLogic.
  </Step>

  <Step>
    Click the **Manager** tab.
