# Getting Started

**This documentation is still under revision.**

Any text editor should work for creating your game with Monogatari, even Windows NotePad, I recomend you to use [Atom](https://atom.io/) or [Brackets](http://brackets.io/).

#### Understanding the Parts

You'll see many directories and files when you download Monogatari and you need to understand what every file is for.

| Directory | Contains |                                                                        |
| --------- | -------- | ---------------------------------------------------------------------- |

| error     |          | Custom error pages, you may modify those as you wish.                  |
| fonts     |          | Font Awesome by default,every other font should be placed here as well |
| style     |          | CSS files for your project.                                            |
