Thank you for giving Firmament Engine a try!

This document will guide you through the installation process, which is pretty easy.

Installing Prerequisites

Firmament requires a working Haxe/NME environment. You can install both Haxe for your platform, and the NME tools and libraries easily using NME's installer:

1. Go to NME's download page: http://www.nme.io/download/
2. Click on the appropriate download link for your platform 
   1. 
3. After the download is complete, run the installer to completion.

That's it! You should have Haxe and NME installed on your machine now.

Installing Firmament Via Haxelib

By far, the easiest way to install Firmament is with Haxe's built-in package system, Haxelib.

Here's how:

1. Open your command prompt. If you don't know how to do that, try this:
   1. If on windows vista or later, hit the windows button, type 'cmd' and hit enter.
   2. If on a mac, hit command+space, type 'terminal' and hit enter

2. Run the following command in your terminal: 

   haxelib install firmament

3. Haxelib will do its thing, download firmament and any dependencies, and then drop you back to the command prompt.

That's it! You should now have a full Firmament Game Engine installation.
