# Beginner walkthrough
This is a beginner tutorial for those who do not have a previous experience with Rust ecosystem or need guidance to get familiar with Duniter v2s project. You'll need a development machine with an internet connexion, at least 20 Go of free storage, and an hour or two depending on your computing power.
