# Introduction

Before we start creating levels with Tiled, we will need to install a few requirements.

## 1. FlatRedBall

First, we need to install FlatRedBall, which can be found on the [FlatRedBall Download Page](https://github.com/flatredball/FlatRedBallDocs/tree/main/download.md). You may already have this installed if you have have been working with FlatRedBall.

## 2. Tiled

Next, we need to install the Tiled program. Tiled is a free, open source, cross platform editor for creating tile-based levels. We will use Tiled to create levels which can include tiled layers, collision, and entities. Tiled can be downloaded on the [Tiled page](https://www.mapeditor.org/).

## Conclusion

That's it! FlatRedBall automatically includes everything you need to use Tiled, so you can get started right away.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the following URL with the `ask` and `goal` query parameters:

```
GET https://docs.flatredball.com/flatredball/tiled-plugin/using-the-tiled-plugin/01-installing-requirements.md?ask=<question>&goal=<user_goal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is what the user is ultimately trying to achieve, the reason they need the answer. Sharing it helps GitBook give you a better, more relevant answer. A goal is most helpful when it describes the outcome the user wants rather than restating the question. For example, with `ask=how do I create an API token`, a goal like `automate deployments from our CI pipeline` lets GitBook tailor the answer to that use case.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
