# Getting started

New to the platform? These pages walk you through everything you need to know to ship something real.

<table data-card-size="large" data-view="cards"><thead><tr><th></th><th></th><th></th></tr></thead><tbody><tr><td><h4><i class="fa-rocket-launch" style="color:$primary;">:rocket-launch:</i></h4></td><td><strong>Quickstart</strong></td><td>Go from sign-up to your first deploy in under five minutes.</td></tr><tr><td><h4><i class="fa-compass" style="color:$primary;">:compass:</i></h4></td><td><strong>Your first project</strong></td><td>A guided walkthrough that takes you from an empty workspace to a configured, deployed project.</td></tr></tbody></table>

## What you'll need

Before you start, make sure you have:

* [x] An account on the platform (free plans work fine)
* [x] A repository or local project you'd like to deploy
* [x] A few minutes of uninterrupted time

{% hint style="info" %}
If you're evaluating the platform for your team rather than yourself, jump to [Core concepts](/sattva-aaranya-docs/documentation/core-concepts/core-concepts.md) first — it'll save time when you set things up properly.
