# How to Access CryoSPARC Live

CryoSPARC Live is automatically installed alongside CryoSPARC.

You must have first installed CryoSPARC: How to [Download, Install and Configure](/setup-configuration-and-management/how-to-download-install-and-configure.md). CryoSPARC Live is installed alongside CryoSPARC without any extra steps, for version v3.0+.

## Access CryoSPARC Live (v4.0+)

As of CryoSPARC v4.0.0, CryoSPARC Live is integrated directly within the main interface and does not require access through a separate port. To access All Live Sessions, click on the CryoSPARC Live icon on the navigation bar.

## Access CryoSPARC Live (**≤**v3.3)

Once you start the CryoSPARC instance, the CryoSPARC Live web application is hosted on `CRYOSPARC_BASE_PORT` + `6`.

In order to find `CRYOSPARC_BASE_PORT`, run the command `cryosparcm status`.

### `cryosparcm` status

In this example, the base port is `61000` and so from the master node, use a web browser to access CryoSPARC Live at `http://localhost:61006`

From other machines on the network, use the hostname of the master node to access CryoSPARC Live, in this example at `http://uoft:61006`
