+# Getting started
+
+This guide will help you get started and acquainted with Grafana. To learn more about Grafana in general, refer to [What is Grafana?]({{< relref "what-is-grafana.md" >}}).
+
+## Install Grafana
+
+This step varies according to your computer operating system. Refer to the instructions for your OS in the [Installation]({{< relref "../installation/_index.md" >}}) section for instructions.
+
+## Log in for the first time 
+
+1. Open your web browser and go to http://localhost:3000/. `3000` is the default HTTP port that Grafana listens to if you haven’t configured a different port.
+1. On the login page, type `admin` for the username and password.
+1. Change your password. 
+
+> **Note:** We strongly encourage you to follow Grafana best practices and change the default administrator password. Don't forget to record your credentials!
+
+## Create a dashboard
+
+1. Click **New dashboard**.
+1. Click **Add Query**. Grafana creates a basic graph panel with the Random Walk scenario.
+1. Save your dashboard. Click the **Save dashboard** icon in the top corner of the screen.
+
+ Congratulations, you have gotten started with Grafana! You have a dashboard and are displaying results. Feel free to experiment with what you have built, continue on to add another data source, or explore [Next steps](#next-steps).
