To get started with `fastn`, you need to have two applications installed on your
machine:
- **`fastn`**: `fastn` is a platform that runs `fastn` language. It is available on a
various platforms, Linux, Mac OS X and Windows. Visit the [`Install
fastn`](install/) page to learn how to install `fastn` on your machine.
- **A text Editor**: Since `fastn` language is a programming language, you'll need a text
editor to write your code. We recommend using
[SublimeText](https://www.sublimetext.com/3), a lightweight editor.
Once you've finished installing these applications, you need to create a new
[`fastn` package](create-fastn-package/) and start using [`fastn` language](ftd/). Read
[Create `fastn` package](create-fastn-package/) page to learn how to create a
`fastn` package.
