1. Define the state machine's context and event types using `setup()`.
2. Create the state machine using `createMachine()` with states, transitions, and actions.
3. Implement actions to update the context based on events.
4. Create an actor from the machine using `createActor()`.
5. Start the actor and send events to trigger state transitions.
6. Subscribe to the actor's snapshot to observe state updates.
7. Integrate the actor with React components using hooks like `useActor`.
