# Quickstart

> Welcome to Turso Cloud! Get started in minutes.

**In this quickstart you will learn how to:**

1. Install the Turso CLI
2. Signup to Turso Cloud
3. Create your first Turso Cloud database
4. Connect to Database Shell

<Steps>
  <Step title="Install the Turso CLI">
    We'll be using the Turso CLI throughout this quickstart to manage databases and connect to the database shell.

    <CodeGroup>
      ```bash macOS theme={null}
      brew install tursodatabase/tap/turso
      ```

      ```bash Linux theme={null}
      curl -sSfL https://get.tur.so/install.sh | bash
      ```

      ```bash Windows (WSL) theme={null}
      curl -sSfL https://get.tur.so/install.sh | bash
      ```
    </CodeGroup>
  </Step>

  <Step title="Signup to Turso Cloud">
    The next command will open your browser to sign up:

    <CodeGroup>
      ```bash Signup theme={null}
      turso auth signup
      ```

      ```bash Login theme={null}
      turso auth login
      ```
    </CodeGroup>
  </Step>

  <Step title="Create a Database">
    Now create your first database with the name `my-db`:

    ```bash theme={null}
    turso db create my-db
    ```

    You can inspect your new database using the following command:

    ```bash theme={null}
    turso db show my-db
    ```
  </Step>

  <Step title="Connect to Database Shell">
    Congratulations, you created a database! Now connect to it with the `shell` command:

    ```bash theme={null}
    turso db shell my-db
    ```

    <Info>
      Replace `my-db` with the name of your database if you named it differently.
    </Info>

    <AccordionGroup>
      <Accordion title="Create table">
        Now create a table for `users` using SQL:

        ```sql theme={null}
        CREATE TABLE users (
          ID INTEGER PRIMARY KEY AUTOINCREMENT,
          name TEXT
        );
        ```
      </Accordion>

      <Accordion title="Insert into new table">
        Then insert a row into the `users` table:

        ```sql theme={null}
        INSERT INTO users (name) VALUES ('Iku');
        ```
      </Accordion>

      <Accordion title="Select all rows from table">
        Finally, query for all `users`:

        ```sql theme={null}
        SELECT * FROM users;
        ```
      </Accordion>
    </AccordionGroup>

    When you're ready to move onto the next step, you'll want to to quit the shell:

    ```sql theme={null}
    .quit
    ```
  </Step>

  <Step title="Connect your application to your database">
    You're now ready to connect your application to your database. Pick from one of the SDKs below to continue:
