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/OpenFL environment. You can install both Haxe for your platform, and the OpenFL tools and libraries easily using OpenFL's installer and following the directions here: http://www.openfl.org/documentation/setup/install-haxe/

That's it! You should have Haxe and OpenFL 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.

Where to go from here

The next step should be creating your first project.
