# Axiom transport for Pino logger

> This page explains how to send data from a Node.js app to Axiom through Pino.

## Prerequisites

* [Create an Axiom account](https://app.axiom.co/register).
* [Create a dataset in Axiom](/reference/datasets#create-dataset) where you send your data.
* [Create an API token in Axiom](/reference/tokens) with permissions to ingest data to the dataset you have created.

## Install SDK

To install the SDK, run the following:

```shell theme={null}
npm install @axiomhq/pino
```

## Create Pino logger

The example below creates a Pino logger with Axiom configured:

```ts theme={null}
import pino from 'pino';

const logger = pino(
  { level: 'info' },
  pino.transport({
    target: '@axiomhq/pino',
    options: {
      dataset: process.env.AXIOM_DATASET,
      token: process.env.AXIOM_TOKEN,
    },
  }),
);
```

After setting up the Axiom transport for Pino, use the logger as usual:

```js theme={null}
logger.info('Hello from Pino!');
```
