| # Get started with Fuchsia |
| |
| Welcome to Fuchsia! |
| |
| This get-started section provides instructions on how to download the |
| Fuchsia source code, build a Fuchsia system image, and run Fuchsia on |
| an emulator. |
| |
| Note: If you want to run Fuchsia on a hardware device, see |
| [Install Fuchsia on a device][install-fuchsia-on-a-device] after completing |
| Step 2 below. |
| |
| The steps are: |
| |
| 1. [Download the Fuchsia source code][download-fuchsia]. |
| 1. [Configure and build Fuchsia][build-fuchsia]. |
| 1. [Start the Fuchsia emulator][start-the-fuchsia-emulator]. |
| 1. [Explore Fuchsia][explore-fuchsia]. |
