## Introduction

This tutorial is meant to prepare you to contribute to the simulation toolkit for the EIC.
The tutorial is not meant to represent a complete software toolkit, but to put together enough pieces
together to get some results and serve as a jumping off point for further development.


## Tutorials

- [Quick start](getting-started/quickstart) - Start here to download software and configure your development environment.

- [Part 1](part1/simple_detector.md) - An introduction to the detector description starting with a simple detector. 

- [Part 2](part2/adding_detectors.md) - This tutorial shows how to add new parameterized detectors to a library of generic detectors (NPdet).
