+Setting up your install
+#######################
+
+For most people, the :DFFD:`standard pack <11171>` is the best way
+to get started - but not always.  If you're on OSX or Linux, or
+have some other reason to avoid the preset walkthrough pack, here's
+what you'll need:
+
+#. `Dwarf Fortress <http://bay12games.com/dwarves/>`_
+#. :forums:`DFHack <139553>`
+#. :wiki:`A graphics pack <Graphics_set_repository>`
+#. The save file from the standard pack (yep, download it anyway!)
+
+The easiest way to get all this working is usually via a
+:wiki:`Starter Pack <Utility:Lazy_Newb_Pack>`, which are also suitable
+for more advanced players (eg if you want to dive into the tutorials
+or even a masterclass).
+
+Just add :download:`this file <onLoadWorld.init>` to your DF
+folder; it configures DFHack to automate away many of the worst pain
+points for new players.
+
+Instructions for how to set up all of the components individually are
+beyond the scope of this quick guide, so check the link for each and
+experiment if anything is unclear.
