# Get Started
|
|
VNote is distributed on **Linux**, **Windows**, and **macOS**. You could always download standalone packages from the [Downloads](https://github.com/tamlok/vnote#downloads) page.
|
|
|
|
It is recommended to download and use the **stable releases** of VNote. If you prefer to use some latest features of VNote, you could try the latest continuous build from `master` branch.
|
|
|
|
Besides the standalone packages, some package managers may already package and distribute VNote, such as *AUR*, and *homebrew cask*.

|
|
|
Once you have a notebook, you could create folders in this notebook. VNote supports infinite levels of folders.

|
|
The bottom panel at the left side will list all the notes of current folder. You could create a new note via the context menu.
|
|
|
|
