  2. Welcome to the Tendermint Core documentation! The introduction below provides
  3. an overview to help you navigate to your area of interest.
  4. ## Introduction
  5. Tendermint Core is Byzantine Fault Tolerant (BFT) middleware that takes a state
  6. transition machine - written in any programming language - and securely
  7. replicates it on many machines. In other words, a blockchain.
  8. Tendermint requires an application running over the Application Blockchain
  9. Interface (ABCI) - and comes packaged with an example application to do so.
  10. Follow the [installation instructions](./introduction/install.md) to get up and running
  11. quickly. For more details on [using tendermint](./tendermint-core/using-tendermint.md) see that
  12. and the following sections.
  13. ## Networks
  14. Testnets can be setup manually on one or more machines, or automatically on one
  15. or more machine, using a variety of methods described in the [deploy testnets
  16. section](./networks/deploy-testnets.md).
  17. ## Application Development
  18. The first step to building application on Tendermint is to [install
  19. ABCI-CLI](./app-dev/getting-started.md) and play with the example applications.
