# 💕 Using the shared instance (~1 min)
|
||
|
||
For convenience, a free shared instance is available at [metrics.lecoq.io](https://metrics.lecoq.io) without any additional setup.
|
||
|
||
## 0️ Setup a personal repository
|
||
|
||
Create a repository with the same name as your GitHub login (if it doesn't exist).

||
|
||

|
||

|
||
|
||
Its `README.md` will be displayed on your user profile:

||
|
||

|
||

|
||
|
||
## 2️ Configure *metrics*
|
||
|
||
Visit [metrics.lecoq.io](https://metrics.lecoq.io) and start playing around!
|
||
|
||
> ⚠️ Some plugins are not available on the web instance. Consider using [GitHub action](https://github.com/marketplace/actions/metrics-embed) to enjoy all features!
|
||
|
||
> ℹ️ [metrics.lecoq.io](https://metrics.lecoq.io) always run on [latest release](https://github.com/lowlighter/metrics/releases/latest). To test upcoming releases, use [beta-metrics.lecoq.io](https://beta-metrics.lecoq.io), which always run on `@master` instead.

## 3️ Add images to your profile `README.md`
|
||
|
||
Update profile `README.md` to include rendered image.

||
*Example: add rendered image with markdown*

||
```markdown
|
||

|
||
```
|
||
|
||
> ⚠️ Images are cached for 1 hour after being rendered. They **won't be updated** during this time window when queried again. However it is possible to manually update them by using [metrics.lecoq.io](https://metrics.lecoq.io) again
