Prerequisite
^^^^^^^^^^^^

For trying out TYPO3 CMS you need to have a fully configured and ready
to use web server which meets the   `minimum system requirements
<http://typo3.org/typo3-cms/overview/requirements/>`_.

If you do not have a web server and you are running a MS Windows
on local your machine, you might want to try the `TYPO3Winstaller
<http://typo3winstaller.sourceforge.net/>`_, which will install a web
server and TYPO3 CMS on your computer.

Make sure to have your database credentials ready.

To install your first

Installing the Introduction Package
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

Having downloaded and unpacked the TYPO3 CMS package do not forget to install the
Introduction Package itself. It is not included in the TYPO3 CMS package and has
to be downloaded and installed separately. Performing a typical installation the
:ref:`Install Tool <t3install:the-install-tool>`
will offer this option when reaching the related installation step.
