Get started with Turso in minutes. **In this quickstart you will learn how to:** 1. Install the Turso CLI 2. Signup to Turso 3. Create your first Turso Database 4. Connect to Database Shell We'll be using the Turso CLI throughout this quickstart to manage databases, create replicas in other regions, and connect to the database shell. ```bash macOS theme={null} brew install tursodatabase/tap/turso ``` ```bash Linux theme={null} curl -sSfL https://get.tur.so/install.sh | bash ``` ```bash Windows (WSL) theme={null} curl -sSfL https://get.tur.so/install.sh | bash ``` The next command will open your browser to sign up: ```bash Signup theme={null} turso auth signup ``` ```bash Login theme={null} turso auth login ``` Now create your first database in a location closest to you with the name `my-db`: ```bash theme={null} turso db create my-db ``` The Turso CLI automatically detected your closest region to create a database. It used this location to create a `default` "group" for your database, which you can inspect using the following command: ```bash theme={null} turso db show my-db ``` Congratulations, you created a database! Now connect to it with the `shell` command: ```bash theme={null} turso db shell my-db ``` Replace `my-db` with the name of your database if you named it differently. Now create a table for `users` using SQL: ```sql theme={null} CREATE TABLE users ( ID INTEGER PRIMARY KEY AUTOINCREMENT, name TEXT ); ``` Then insert a row into the `users` table: ```sql theme={null} INSERT INTO users (name) VALUES ("Iku"); ``` Finally, query for all `users`: ```sql theme={null} SELECT * FROM users; ``` When you're ready to move onto the next step, you'll want to to quit the shell: ```sql theme={null} .quit ``` You're now ready to connect your application to your database.
