# 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.

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

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

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

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

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.
