 ## Getting Started ##
 
-*in progress*
+Since HomeSpan is a library designed for Arduino's Integrated Development Environment, the first step is to download and install the latest version of this IDE from the [Arduino Software page](https://www.arduino.cc/en/software).  If you have experience with programming Arduino sketches, you'll find Homespan's use of the standard Arduino setup() and loop() functions, as well as the ever-present *\*.ino* file, very familiar.  If you've never programmed an Arduino, you may want to begin by reviewing [Arduino's Guide to the IDE](https://www.arduino.cc/en/Guide/Environment), and maybe try out a few Arduino examples to become familar with the environment and how to use Arduino libraries, before proceeding to program with HomeSpan.
