+# Getting Started
+
+To get started with using pip, you should install Python on your system.
+
+## Checking if you have a working pip
+
+The best way to check if you have a working pip installation is to run:
+
+```{pip-cli}
+$ pip --version
+pip X.Y.Z from ... (python X.Y)
+```
+
+If that worked, congratulations! You have a working pip in your environment.
+
+If you got output that does not look like the sample above, read on -- the rest
+of this page has information about how to install pip within a Python
+environment that doesn't have it.
+
+## Next Steps
+
+As a next step, you'll want to read the
+["Installing Packages"](pypug:tutorials/installing-packages) tutorial on
+packaging.python.org. That tutorial will guide you through the basics of using
+pip for installing packages.
