+# Getting Started
+
+## Use the Current Stable Version (5.4)
+
+If you are just getting started with PHP make sure to start with the current stable release of [PHP 5.4][php-release]. PHP has made great strides adding powerful [new features](#language_highlights) over the last few years. Don't let the minor version number difference between 5.2 and 5.4 fool you, it represents _major_ improvements.
+
+## Built-in web server
+
+You can start learning PHP without the hassle of installing and configuring a full-fledged web server (PHP 5.4 required). To start the server, run the following from your terminal in your project's web root:
+
+    > php -S localhost:8000
+
+* [Learn about the built-in, command line web server][cli-server]
+
+[php-release]: http://www.php.net/downloads.php
+[cli-server]: http://www.php.net/manual/en/features.commandline.webserver.php
+
+## Windows Setup
+
+You can install PHP on windows from an install executable found on the official [PHP Downloads][php-downloads] page. For a complete Apache, MySQL, and PHP installation check out [WAMP][wamp-installer].

+
+## Mac Setup
+
+OSX comes prepackaged with PHP. As of Mountain Lion, it is _not_ the current stable version of PHP, though. You can get the PHP executable through a number of Mac [package managers][mac-package-managers] or [compile it yourself][mac-compile] (if compiling, be sure to have Xcode, or [this substitution][xcode-gcc-substitution], installed). For a complete Apache, MySQL, and PHP installation check out [MAMP2][mamp-downloads].
