Please join the [#mgmtconfig](https://webchat.freenode.net/?channels=#mgmtconfig) IRC community!
If you have a well phrased question that might benefit others, consider asking it by sending a patch to the documentation [FAQ](https://github.com/purpleidea/mgmt/blob/master/docs/documentation.md#usage-and-frequently-asked-questions) section. I'll merge your question, and a patch with the answer!
## Quick start:
* Make sure you have golang version 1.6 or greater installed.
* If you do not have a GOPATH yet, create one and export it:
```
mkdir $HOME/gopath
export GOPATH=$HOME/gopath
```
* You might also want to add the GOPATH to your `~/.bashrc` or `~/.profile`.
* For more information you can read the [GOPATH documentation](https://golang.org/cmd/go/#hdr-GOPATH_environment_variable).
* Next download the mgmt code base, and switch to that directory:
```
go get -u github.com/purpleidea/mgmt
cd $GOPATH/src/github.com/purpleidea/mgmt
```
* Run `make deps` to install system and golang dependencies. Take a look at `misc/make-deps.sh` for details.
* Run `make build` to get a freshly built `mgmt` binary.
* Run `time ./mgmt run --yaml examples/graph0.yaml --converged-timeout=5 --tmp-prefix` to try out a very simple example!
* To run continuously in the default mode of operation, omit the `--converged-timeout` option.
* Have fun hacking on our future technology!
## Examples:
Please look in the [examples/](examples/) folder for more examples!
## Documentation:
Please see: the manually created [documentation.md](docs/documentation.md) (also available as [PDF](https://pdfdoc-purpleidea.rhcloud.com/pdf/https://github.com/purpleidea/mgmt/blob/master/docs/documentation.md)) and the automatically generated [GoDoc documentation](https://godoc.org/github.com/purpleidea/mgmt).
