## Getting Started with Silverstripe
|
|
|
|
Before you start developing your first web application, you'll need to install the latest version of Silverstripe onto a
|
|
web server. The [Getting Started](/getting_started) section will show you what
|
|
[server requirements](/getting_started/server_requirements) you will need to meet and how to
|
|
[install Silverstripe with Composer](/getting_started/composer).
|
|
|
|
To check out the features that Silverstripe offers without installing it, read
|
|
the [Feature Overview](http://www.silverstripe.org/software/)
|
|
and play with our [interactive demos](http://silverstripe.org/try).
|
|
|

## Building your first Silverstripe Web application
|
|
