# Guides

Use this section as a practical path from setup to advanced checks.

## Recommended path

1. Install and verify the CLI: [Installation](getting-started/installation)
2. Create and run a first test: [First Test](getting-started/first-test)
3. Learn `.gctf` structure: [Basic Concepts](getting-started/basic-concepts)
4. Add stronger checks: [Testing Patterns](testing-patterns/testing-patterns)
5. Use command details when needed: [CLI Reference](reference/api/command-line)
6. Fix common failures fast: [Troubleshooting](troubleshooting)

## One working example
