# Getting Started with NVSHMEM

## Purpose

Guide a beginner to the next useful action. Teach the stable mental model, program structure, build pattern, and launch pattern directly. Route installation, version-sensitive variants, advanced integrations, and failures to the appropriate specialist skill.

## Prerequisites

- Require no credentials, installed software, or GPU access for fit assessment and conceptual guidance.
- Keep the bundled [mental model](references/mental-model.md), [basic API calls](references/basic-api-calls.md), and [NVSHMEM4Py program guide](references/nvshmem4py-programs.md) available for the teaching paths that require them.
- Keep `$nvshmem-install`, `$nvshmem-docs`, and `$nvshmem-troubleshoot-and-report-bugs` available for complete installation, version-specific, and failure handoffs. If a specialist skill is unavailable, follow the documented fallback instead of inventing current details.
