# Getting Started

For most folks, the right way to get started is to install the Arduino IDE with prebuilt Kaleidoscope support

## Set up the Arduino IDE with Kaleidoscope support

[Install Arduino and Kaleidoscope](setup_toolchain)

The first thing you should do once you install Kaleidoscope is to [try building your keyboard's firmware](build_default_firmware).

If you intend to develop Kaleidoscope, you may want to install Kaleidoscope from git.

### Clone the hardware definitions
```sh
git clone --recursive https://github.com/keyboardio/Kaleidoscope-Bundle-Keyboardio.git keyboardio
```
