Getting Started
===============

The :link_connext_dds_pro_gsg:`RTI Connext Getting Started Guide <index.html>`
helps you install the software and run your first *Connext* Python application
while learning general concepts of *Connext*.

See the :link_connext_dds_pro_pn:`Core Libraries Platform Notes <>`
for information on which *Connext* platforms and Python versions the Python API
is supported on. (For example, see "Support for the Python API" in the Linux
Platforms chapter.)

To learn more about the Python API, see :ref:`py-api-overview`; you can start
with the :ref:`hello:Hello World` example.

If you're looking for specific documentation, check out the :ref:`quick:Quick Reference`,
or the full :ref:`API reference <rti:rti package>`.

If you're migrating from *RTI Connector*, the `Connext Migration Guide <https://community.rti.com/static/documentation/connext-dds/current/doc/manuals/migration_guide/index.html>`_
on `RTI Community <https://community.rti.com/documentation>`_ provides guidance.

For more documentation, including the Connext User's Manual and the reference 
for the C, C++, Java and C# APIs, see `RTI Community <https://community.rti.com/documentation>`_.
