############### Getting Started ############### ************ Installation ************ Moe requires python 3.9 or greater. #. The latest release of Moe is available on `PyPI `_. It's recommended to install with `pipx `_: .. code-block:: bash $ pipx install moe #. Ensure everything is working properly. .. code-block:: bash $ moe --version ********************* Understanding Plugins ********************* Before using Moe, you should understand that most of Moe's features are provided by various *plugins* that each contribute a different way of interacting with the music in your library. For example, the ``edit`` plugin lets you edit your music, while the ``add`` plugin lets you add music to your library. Each of these plugins come with their own set of commands and configuration options. There also exist external or third-party plugins that extend the functionality of Moe even further. See :doc:`the third-party plugins docs ` for more information. ********* Now what? ********* The first step is configuring Moe to your liking. To do this, check out the :doc:`configuration docs `. .. note:: Moe doesn't ship with any metadata source connections by default. If you'd like to import metadata from online sources such as Musicbrainz, you'll have to install a third-party plugin. Once you're satisfied with everything, you can start using Moe! For normal users, check out the :doc:`command-line interface docs ` to interact with and start adding music to your music library. If you're a developer, check out the relevant :doc:`developer docs `. .. tip:: Starting out, it may be helpful to run Moe in *verbose* mode (``moe -v ...``) to get a better of idea of what's happening behind the scenes when executing various commands.
