Start

These pages take you from nothing to a running Tilde: install the two programs, tcli (the command line tool) and tt (the terminal interface), check what you downloaded, write a first config.toml and see your accounts. Use the Debian page if you have apt, and the archive page for any other system. After the first run, the tutorial walks through tt one step at a time.
