b. **If using app router**, open or create the file `layout.js` or `layout.tsx` in your app/ directory
b. **If using app router**, first create a client component in a file (e.g. `components/MixpanelProvider.js`) to handle the client-side initialization.
```javascript
'use client';

import { useEffect } from 'react';
import { usePathname } from 'next/navigation';
import { initMixpanel } from '../lib/mixpanelClient';
export default function RootLayout({ children }) {

export default function MixpanelProvider({ children }) {

useEffect(() => {
initMixpanel(); // Initialize Mixpanel
}, []);

return <>{children}</>;
}
```

Next, open or create the file `layout.js` or `layout.tsx` in your app/ directory and wrap the body component with the MixpanelProvider.
```javascript
import { MixpanelProvider } from '../components/MixpanelProvider';

export default function RootLayout({ children }) {

return (
<html lang="en">
<body>{children}</body>
<body>
<MixpanelProvider>{children}</MixpanelProvider>
</body>
</html>
);
}
