# Getting setup with ODK development

Access the[ Dashboard](https://otherside.m2worlds.io/dashboard?download\&project=open-roses-send-489062) download page and click "Install the Launcher".

1. The ODK Launcher should open and start downloading the ODK.
2. When the download is complete, the template selection window should open with the option to load an existing project or create a new project from the ODK template:

3. If this is your first time developing for the ODK, we recommend you use the "ODK Boneyard Template" as the starting template. Click on the template to create a project from it
4. Give your project a name, and click "Create New Project". The template will download and open automatically.

### Creating an online world

3. Your project will then be cooked, packaged and uploaded to the Otherside dashboard. In future uploads, this process will be quicker as not all content will need to be recooked. Once complete, click the "View upload in dashboard" button<br>

4. That will take you to the ODK dashboard, which will display your world's uploads. You can then click "Launch World" to create a deployment from your uploaded content, and share that with others to join

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.otherside.xyz/odk-docs/readme/getting-setup-with-odk-development.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
