# Getting Started

Install Mango Notify and send your first notification in under five minutes.

Mango Notify is standalone — there is no database to import, no framework requirement, and no dependency list. Installation is dropping one folder in and adding one line to `server.cfg`.

Everything works out of the box with sensible defaults — you only need to open `config.lua` when you want to change how things look or behave.
