Firstly, import the GetStorage package into your main.dart file by adding the following import statement at the top of the file.

import 'package:get_storage/get_storage.dart';

import 'package:get_storage/get_storage.dart';

Now, in the main method of your app, before calling runApp method, call the init method of the GetStorage class to initialize the storage system.

void main() async {
  await GetStorage.init();
  runApp(MyApp());
}

void main() async {
  await GetStorage.init();
  runApp(MyApp());
}

The init method is an asynchronous method, so you need to use the async and await keywords to wait for the initialization to complete before running the app.

That's it! You have now initialized "Get Storage" into the main method of your Flutter app and can start using it to store and retrieve data.
