# First steps

This describes how to set up a network so that you may start building the network, adding data, and so forth.

## Create project a project

All the projects and networks are stored in the library called Home. In here, the user will be able to create new networks and arrange them by the user's preferences. Networks can be shared, edited, exported, deleted and cleaned.

## Create a network

Once logged-in, click "add network" in order to start building your project. A window will pop up so you can name and describe your project. Each network can have different versions where you will be able to switch within without loosing any data, we recommend selecting the latest version and looking at the "version history" link before modifying the template. This feature will function in later versions of OpenAgua.

Once your network is set you can start building it by clicking "overview" and then "Network Editor", also a drop-down menu is shown at the upper right where sharing and editing functions are available.

## 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.openagua.org/how-to-use/user-guide/setup-model/first-steps.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.
