# Getting Started

If you are completely new, do not overcomplicate the first step. The goal is to get a working project and learn the mental model as you build.

## Recommended Path

1. Read the [Solana Docs](https://solana.com/docs) overview
2. Set up your environment with [Quick Installation](https://solana.com/docs/intro/installation)
3. Get test funds with [devnet SOL and faucet guide](https://solana.com/developers/guides/getstarted/solana-token-airdrop-and-faucets)
4. Start from an official template at [Solana Developer Templates](https://solana.com/developers/templates)
5. Use [Program Examples](https://solana.com/docs/programs/examples) when you need a reference implementation

## Good Starting Options

* [solana.new](https://www.solana.new/) for AI-assisted project setup and fast experimentation
* [Solana Learn](https://solana.com/learn) for a lighter, concept-first ramp
* [Quick Start in the browser](https://solana.com/docs/intro/quick-start) if you want to prototype without a full local setup

## If You Already Know Web Development

Start with:

* [Developer Templates](https://solana.com/developers/templates)
* [Intro to Anchor](https://solana.com/developers/courses/onchain-development/intro-to-anchor)
* [Solana Cookbook](https://solana.com/developers/cookbook)

Then jump to [Boilerplates & Starter Kits](/superteam-germany-guilds/build-on-solana/boilerplates-and-starter-kits.md).

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.superteamde.fun/superteam-germany-guilds/build-on-solana/getting-started.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
