Can I install Analytics before deciding on a theme?

If you add tracking code to a theme file you will need to do this on every theme change.

It is considered good practice to use plugin for this, like Google Analytics for WordPress. It will use common hooks (that every theme worth using has) to insert code and that way you don’t need to think about that when changing.
