To get started using Asymptote, it's a good idea to go through this guide in the following steps:
- Follow the instructions on the Downloads and Installation page
- Once you have downloaded and installed everything, you may wish to try out interactive mode and optionally configure TeXnicCenter to use Asymptote, as described on the Interactive Mode page
- Look over Basics and skim through Reference or Examples to learn the basics of Asymptote coding.
- Make a bunch of images!
