# Welcome

## Contents

We've separated our documentation into several different content sections. Since our documentation will start with downloading and installing the Stardew Valley Mod Manager, we've included these sections for those that have already completed some of the early steps.

## Getting Started

If you're ready, we'll start by guiding you through the entire process from downloading and installing to getting everything configured and beyond. Let's start with **Setup and Configuration**.

## Developers

We have introduced a special section of the documentation for developers. This section includes information that will help developers take advantage of the Stardew Valley Mod Manager and all of it's features - including guides to help make sure that their mods are compatible with the Mod Update Check utility and how to create modpacks.
