# 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/blob/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.
