# Getting started

This page takes you from a new account to your first finished review.

1. **Create an account**

   Open [armincards.app](https://armincards.app) and sign up with your email address or Google
   account. Verify your email address before you add cards.
2. **Make a deck**

   A deck holds a set of cards and the prerequisite links between them. Create one from **Decks**
   in the sidebar and give it a name.
3. **Add cards**

   Open the deck and add a few cards. Start with **Basic** cards: a question on the front and its
   answer on the back. See [Cards and decks](https://docs.armincards.app/guides/cards-and-decks/) for the other types.
4. **Review**

   Choose **Review**. Recall the answer, reveal it, and rate how well you remembered it. Armin
   schedules the next review from your rating. See [Reviewing](https://docs.armincards.app/guides/reviewing/).

## Already use Anki?

You can import your Anki decks, including their review history, instead of
starting from scratch. See [Import from Anki](https://docs.armincards.app/guides/import-from-anki/).
