Quickstart Guide

The Quickstart Guide is a set of lessons that demonstrate the features of the Epistemix Platform. Each lesson builds on previous lessons to guide you through everything from running your first model, learning how to define your own models using the FRED Language, to running simulations of large populations of simulated agents on FRED Cloud. We recommend that you work through the lessons in order, but don’t be afraid to skip ahead if the topic of a later lesson catches your interest! You can always flip back to an earlier lesson if you get stuck, or reach out to the Epistemix team for support through our Discussion Forum or by emailing learning@epistemix.com.

Non-interactive versions of the Quickstart Guide lessons are provided here for easy reference. For the full interactive experience, sign into the Platform IDE through the Platform Hub. If you haven’t signed up for a free trial yet, see the Getting Started guide.
