# Quick Start
Build a simple Core application in 5 minutes.
## Create Project
```bash
mkdir myapp && cd myapp
go mod init myapp
```
## Install Dependencies
```bash
go get github.com/Snider/Core@latest
go get github.com/wailsapp/wails/v3@latest
```
## Create Main File
Create `main.go`:
```go
package main
import (
"context"
"embed"
"log"
"github.com/Snider/Core/pkg/core"
"github.com/Snider/Core/pkg/display"
"github.com/wailsapp/wails/v3/pkg/application"
)
//go:embed all:frontend/dist
var assets embed.FS
func main() {
// Initialize Core with display service
c, err := core.New(
core.WithAssets(assets),
core.WithService(display.NewService),
)
if err != nil {
log.Fatal(err)
}
// Get display service for window creation
displaySvc := core.MustServiceFor[*display.Service](c, "display")
// Create Wails application
app := application.New(application.Options{
Name: "My App",
Assets: application.AssetOptions{
FS: assets,
},
})
// Create main window
app.NewWebviewWindowWithOptions(application.WebviewWindowOptions{
Title: "My App",
Width: 1200,
Height: 800,
URL: "/",
})
// Register display service with Wails
app.RegisterService(displaySvc)
// Run application
if err := app.Run(); err != nil {
log.Fatal(err)
}
}
```
## Create Frontend
Create a minimal frontend:
```bash
mkdir -p frontend/dist
```
Create `frontend/dist/index.html`:
```html
My App
Hello from Core!
```
## Run Development Mode
```bash
wails3 dev
```
## Build for Production
```bash
wails3 build
```
## Next Steps
- [Architecture](architecture.md) - Understand how Core works
- [Display Service](../services/display.md) - Window and dialog management
- [MCP Integration](../services/mcp.md) - AI tool support
