================
Here is a quick list of operations that you can follow to create and start your first PyAMS application from scratch.

-PyAMS relies on Python packages for which you must have system packages available in your environment. These include:
+Required packages
+-----------------
-* a C/C++ compiler (GCC is fine)
+PyAMS relies on system and Python packages which you must have been previously installed in your environment.
+
+.. note::
-* a Python 3.5 interpreter with development headers; PyAMS may be compatible with other versions but has only been
- completely tested with this version until now
-
-* several libraries with their development headers; these include libjpeg, libpng, libfreetype, libxml2 and libxslt
- (and libpq if you want to use PostgreSQL)
+ - a C/C++ compiler like **GCC**
+ - **Python 3.5*** with development headers; **Cython3** for better optimization of several packages
+ - a cache server, like **Redis** or **Memcached**.
+ - Several libraries with their development headers: *libjpeg*, *libpng*, *libfreetype*, *libxml2* and *libxslt*

-* a cache server, like Redis or Memcached.

+
+.. code-block:: bash
-We are creating a virtual environment in */var/local/env*; it will include a small set of utilities required to use
-PyAMS templates:
+ $ mkdir /var/local/
+ $ pip3 install virtualenv
+ $ virtualenv --python=python3.5 env
+ $ source env/bin/activate
+
+To use PyAMS templates, the *cookiecutter* tool is required:
.. code-block:: bash
- # mkdir /var/local/
- # pip3 install virtualenv
- # virtualenv --python=python3.5 env
- # cd env
- # . bin/activate

-**WARNING**: in this quickstart example, ZEO server instance will run as current user and group; for a production
-environment, it's better to use dedicated service user and group!
