Getting started
###############

To quickly get started with |BRIDLE|, use the :ref:`Getting Started Assistant
<gs_assistant>` to set up your development environment. Alternatively, check the
:ref:`gs_installing` section for instructions on setting up your environment
manually. To set up your system for using Bridle with Nix, see :ref:`gs_nix`.

We recommend using [t.b.d.] for building your applications. See
:ref:`gs_programming` for the download links and instructions. In case you
run into problems, see :ref:`gs_programming_ts` .

Once you are set up, check out the :ref:`samples`. If this is the first time
you work with embedded devices, it is probably a good idea to program an
unchanged sample to your board first and test if it works as expected. After
that, pick a sample that is related to the application you want to create and
start developing!
