# Quickstart

> From sign-up to your first hands-on lesson in five minutes.

This guide takes you from a new account to running code in your first lesson.

<Steps>
  <Step title="Create an account">
    Go to [xkat.space](https://xkat.space) and sign up with email or a social
    login (such as GitHub or Google). See [Account & Profile](/en/get-started/account)
    for details.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Pick a language">
    xkat is available in nine languages. Choose yours from the language switcher —
    see [Supported Languages](/en/get-started/languages).
  </Step>

  <Step title="Find a course">
    Browse the catalog and open a course that matches your goal. Free courses are
    fully available on every plan. See [Exploring Courses](/en/learn/explore-courses).
  </Step>

  <Step title="Open your first lesson">
    Start the course. The **Dynamic Workspace** opens — an editor plus a terminal
    or live preview, depending on the lesson. Nothing to install.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Run your first code">
    Type the exercise code and run it. For backend lessons, output appears in the
    terminal via remote compilation; for frontend lessons, the preview updates
    instantly.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Ask the AI Tutor">
    Hit an error? Open the [AI Tutor](/en/learn/ai-tutor) panel — it reads your
    context and suggests a fix.
  </Step>
