We're not scheduled to start until 11th April, but as a lot of us are here a week early, lets try to make sure everyone has everything installed, and while we're at it, get to grips with the different parts of a tidal install and how they work together.

Installation instructions are [here](https://tidalcycles.org/index.php/Installation) - have a go at the 'easy' installs first of all. If things don't work out-of-the-box, then feel free to create a new post in the [Installation Help category](https://club.tidalcycles.org/c/help/5) on this forum.

I'm planning on making a quick video touring around the different parts of a tidal install, how it fits together, and explaining what can go wrong and how to fix it. Cheers!
