# Chapter 1. Getting Started

To start using Aap you must have two applications:

- Python version 1.5 or later

- Aap

Python is often installed already. Try this:

`python -V`

If you get a "Command not found" error you still need to install Python. Help for this can be found on the Python web site: www.python.org/download/.

For obtaining and installing Aap look here: www.a-a-p.org/download.html.

To check if your Aap program is working, type this command:

`aap --help`

You should get a list of the command line arguments. Note that there are two dashes before "help".
