These are learning-oriented lessons for newcomers to Sardana. Following them in order, you will install a minimal Sardana system, set up a fully simulated demo “beamline”, write and run your first macro, plug in your first motor controller and finally run your first scans. No prior knowledge of Sardana is required – only a basic familiarity with Python and the command line.

If you are looking for recipes to accomplish a specific task, head to the how-to guides instead; if you want to understand how Sardana works internally, read the explanation section.
