Quick Start

Get up and running with Godot in minutes

Download the latest stable version of Godot Engine from the [official website](https://godotengine.org/download) or compile from source. Choose the standard or Mono version (for C# support). ```bash theme={null} # For Linux, you can use package managers flatpak install flathub org.godotengine.Godot ``` Launch Godot, click **New Project**, choose a location, and select a renderer (Forward+, Mobile, or Compatibility). Choose **Forward+** for high-end 3D games, **Mobile** for mobile/web games, or **Compatibility** for maximum compatibility with older devices. Create a new scene with a Node2D or Node3D root, add child nodes like Sprite2D or MeshInstance3D, and attach a script to add behavior. ```gdscript theme={null} extends Node2D func _ready(): print("Hello, Godot!") func _process(delta): # Game logic runs every frame pass ``` See the [quickstart guide](/quickstart) for a complete tutorial.
