| SPDK contains a user space, polled mode, [NVMe](http://nvmexpress.org) driver designed to provide direct access to NVMe devices with as little overhead as possible. This tutorial is designed to walk through the basics of getting your first program up and running, to the point where you can send I/O. I'm assuming for this article that you know what NVMe is and that you are generally comfortable using a bash shell on Linux, writing code in C, and using git. I may gloss over some details related to those things in the interest of keeping this concise. If anything is unclear, shoot the team a message on our [mailing list](https://lists.01.org/mailman/listinfo/spdk) or join our [Gitter Chat](https://gitter.im/spdk/spdk). | ||

| The first thing you'll need to do is clone the repository from our [GitHub page](http://github.com/spdk/spdk) and build it. The README on our GitHub page describes that process. Many of us do our development on Fedora Linux, but Ubuntu, CentOs, and FreeBSD are also tested daily. The code should run on most modern distributions of Linux, but it's probably safest to pick one of the distributions that is being actively used if you aren't an expert. |
