<h2><span class="mw-headline">Getting Started</span></h2>
<p>Once you've installed the latest version of Ren'Py, run the Ren'Py launcher. On Windows, this is renpy.exe. On linux, you run the script renpy.sh in the installed renpy directory.</p>
<p>Click on the "New Project" button. Click on the "template" button. The launcher will prompt you for a name. Enter a simple, preferably one-word name for your project. If you can't think of anything, "renai1" will work. Then hit enter.</p>
<p>This should bring you back to the main launcher page, except now it will say the name of your project in the upper left-hand corner. Click on the "Edit Script" button. This will launch the jEdit text editor with your new Ren'Py script (which is currently the same as the Ren'Py template script). If you're not on the "script.rpy" tab, please pay no attention to the current tab and switch to that one.</p>
<p>You're now ready to go.</p>
