# Get started with @patternplate/app

> :timer_clock: **Time invest**: 5 Minutes ––– :woman_student: **Level**: Beginner

## What to expect

`patternplate` bridges the gaps between engineering and design. Whiule there is a command line interface, it also provides a macOS application to download and view patternplate projects.

We will …

* … install `@patternplate/app` on your Mac

* … use `@patternplate/app` to clone the Getting Started project

* … start the Getting Started project via the app

> :warning: `@patternplate/app` is a Technical Preview and might have bugs / unimplemented features. We are working hard to get the first stable version
ready for delivery :crossed_fingers: 
> 
> During Alpha we build only macOS bundles, support for other platforms is planned.

## You'll need

* :apple: A Mac with approximately 1GB of free disk space
