# Quickstart Guide This section contains a guide to setting up the Elentra API for development With Elentra ME. It assumes you already have a development workstation set up according to the instructions on the [Getting Started Guide](https://docs.elentra.org/technical/developers/getting-started). If you are setting up an environment for Elentra CPD or Elentra Admissions, the procedure is the same, just substitute the corresponding repository. The naming in this documentation will be `elentra-1x-me` for Elentra ME and `elentra-1x-api` for Elentra API, but you can name the repositories differently on your local machine, just substitute the actual repository name when you perform the commands. --- # Agent Instructions: Querying This Documentation If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.
