Getting Started

Purpose

This section is the practical onboarding path after the introduction pages. It shows how to get a working installation, verify it, run a few real commands, and avoid the most common early misunderstandings.

    A[Install the runtime] --> B[Verify the active binary]
    B --> C[Run core commands]
    C --> D[Request structured output]
    D --> E[Handle early failures]

This flowchart is the practical onboarding path for new users. It shows the order that prevents confusion: install first, verify the active binary, prove a few commands work, then move to structured output and troubleshooting.

  root((Getting Started))
    Install
      Cargo
      pip
      pipx
    Verify
      version
      paths
      doctor
    Use
      help
      status
      structured output
    Recover
      duplicate installs
      path confusion
      unsupported expectations

The mindmap highlights the themes behind that path: one install choice, early verification, a small set of first commands, and explicit recovery steps when expectations or environment state are wrong.

Read This Set In Order

1. Install And Verify
2. Installation And Recovery
3. Run Your First Commands
4. Use Structured Output
5. Troubleshoot Early Problems

Scope

These pages are intentionally narrow:

• they cover the first successful operational path
• they do not replace the full installation or command references
• they avoid feature tours that belong in guides or architecture

Next Step

If you have not read the project identity and limits yet, start with Introduction. If you already know what Bijux is, continue to Install And Verify.
