# Rookout

## Learn more about Sentry's Rookout integration and how it can help you debug an issue.

Rookout adds a layer of depth to Sentry issues by allowing you to jump right from an Issue to a non-breaking breakpoint on the line that caused the error.

This integration is maintained and supported by the company that created it. For more details, check out our [Integration Platform documentation](/organization/integrations/integration-platform/).

## [Install and Configure](#install-and-configure)

Sentry owner, manager, or admin permissions are required to install this integration.

Rookout **won't** work with self-hosted Sentry.

1. Navigate to **Settings > Integrations > Rookout**

   [![Install Rookout integration](/_next/image/?url=%2Fmdx-images%2Frookout-BA2YTOLS.png%231500x704\&w=3840\&q=75)](/mdx-images/rookout-BA2YTOLS.png)

2. In the resulting modal, approve the permissions by clicking "Install".

## [Use Integration in Stack Trace](#use-integration-in-stack-trace)

After installing Rookout in Sentry, you can go straight to the line of code in your stack trace, and click the Rookout icon. That will take you directly to the same line of code in the same file inside Rookout.

1. In Sentry, navigate to the specific **Issue** you want to link and navigate to the **Stack Trace**.

2. In the Stack Trace, you'll see the option to open the line in Rookout by clicking on the Rookout icon.

3. Clicking on the Rookout icon takes you to Rookout's web UI where you can continue the debugging process. Rookout makes the best guess for the corresponding project and file in its web UI and will take you to the correct line of code in the file.
