# Tutorials

The best way to learn is to practice! That’s what the Ivy tutorials will help you to do, to discover some of the great Ivy features.

For the first tutorial you won’t even have to install Ivy (assuming you have Ant and a JDK properly installed), and it shouldn’t take more than 30 seconds.

## First Tutorial

- Make sure you have Ant 1.9.9 or greater and a Java JDK properly installed

- Copy this build file to an empty directory on your local filesystem (and make sure you name it `build.xml`)

- Open a console in that directory and run the command: `ant`. That’s it!

If you have any trouble, check our FAQ.

OK, you’ve just seen how easy it is to take your first step with Ivy. Go ahead with the other tutorials, but before you do, make sure you have properly installed Ivy and downloaded the tutorials sources (included in all Ivy distributions, in the src/example directory).
