# Introduction
Welcome to impress.js! This presentation framework allows you to create stunning presentations with the power of CSS3 transformations. It is inspired by the idea behind [prezi.com](https://prezi.com).
**NOTE:** This Guide is not made for you, if you have never written HTML and/or CSS before. Knowing your way around in JavaScript certainly helps, but is not a necessity, as we won't go over how you may use JavaScript in conjunction with this framework here. You may still continue this tutorial and try to understand what we do as you go.
Also, if you are an experienced (or sorta experienced user, anyway), you might prefer the [DOCUMENTATION](DOCUMENTATION.md).
# Getting started with impress.js
## Installation / acquiring the framework

### **Stable release:**
Head to the releases tab and download the source code as zip or as a tarball. Go ahead and unzip / untar it. You may find the framework under ```/js/impress.js.```
### **Bleeding Edge:**
In the github repository, click the "Code"-Button, then click "Download ZIP". Go ahead and unzip / untar it. You may find the framework under ```/js/impress.js.```

Now, copy the *impress.js* file into the folder you are working in and create a new file called *index.html* and create the basic HTML layout:
