# Getting started
```{note}
These instructions assume familiarity with virtual environments and the
[Django web framework](https://www.djangoproject.com/).
For more detailed instructions, see [](tutorial).
To add Wagtail to an existing Django project, see [](integrating_into_django).
```
## Dependencies needed for installation
- [Python 3](https://www.python.org/downloads/)
- **libjpeg** and **zlib**, libraries required for Django\'s **Pillow** library.
See Pillow\'s [platform-specific installation instructions](https://pillow.readthedocs.org/en/latest/installation.html#external-libraries).
## Quick install
Run the following in a virtual environment of your choice:
```sh
$ pip install wagtail
```
(Installing outside a virtual environment may require `sudo`.)
Once installed, Wagtail provides a command similar to Django\'s `django-admin startproject` to generate a new site/project:
```sh
$ wagtail start mysite
```
This will create a new folder `mysite`, based on a template containing everything you need to get started.
More information on that template is available in
[the project template reference](/reference/project_template).
Inside your `mysite` folder, run the setup steps necessary for any Django project:
```sh
$ pip install -r requirements.txt
$ ./manage.py migrate
$ ./manage.py createsuperuser
$ ./manage.py runserver
```
Your site is now accessible at `http://localhost:8000`, with the admin backend available at `http://localhost:8000/admin/`.
This will set you up with a new stand-alone Wagtail project.
If you\'d like to add Wagtail to an existing Django project instead, see [Integrating Wagtail into a Django project](/getting_started/integrating_into_django).
There are a few optional packages which are not installed by default but are recommended to improve performance or add features to Wagtail, including:
- [Elasticsearch](/advanced_topics/performance).
- [Feature Detection](image_feature_detection).
