Getting Started
===============

Getting Started is the shortest path from learning what MC/DC is to completing
a working transport calculation.

Begin with :doc:`what_is_mcdc` for an overview of the project and its intended
uses. Then install MC/DC and follow the first-simulation tutorial to build,
visualize, run, and post-process a complete transport problem.

After completing these pages:

- Continue through the :doc:`../index` for task-oriented guidance.
- Browse :doc:`../examples/index` for complete models.
- Consult the :doc:`../../reference/index` for exact API behavior.
