## Getting Started

Flycheck is available for installation with `package.el` on [NonGNU
ELPA](https://elpa.nongnu.org/nongnu), [MELPA
Stable](http://stable.melpa.org) and [MELPA](http://melpa.org).

You can install Flycheck with the following command:

M-x `package-install` [RET] `flycheck` [RET]

Finally add this to your Emacs config:

```elisp
(global-flycheck-mode +1)
```

Alternatively, if you're into `use-package` you can do the following:

``` emacs-lisp
(use-package flycheck
:ensure t
:config
(add-hook 'after-init-hook #'global-flycheck-mode))
```

Now you can start using any of the [bundled checkers](https://www.flycheck.org/en/latest/languages.html) or install additional checkers.

For a more gentle introduction read the [Installation][] instructions and go
through [Quickstart][] guide.
