# SIMVANA Start Guide

Getting up and running with SIMVANA only takes a few steps. If you run into any trouble, [create a support ticket](https://simvana.com/support?hsLang=en), and we'll be happy to help!

### 1. Meta Quest Device Setup

If you are setting up your Meta Quest device for the first time, check out [Meta's Quest 3 Setup Guide](https://www.meta.com/help/quest/10004693912934783/).

Once your headset is set up. You are ready to install the SIMVANA applications on the headset.

### 2. App Installation

##### Installing from the Meta Store

Our applications are available for download on the Meta App Store. In the headset, use the "Store" app to search for and install.<https://www.meta.com/help/quest/202382494824837/>
