## Installation  
Follow the steps in the [Installation Instructions](/content/docs/1.0.0/desktop/installation/index.html) to download and install Quetzly Validator on your system.

## First Launch  
When you first launch Quetzly Validator, you'll see the main interface with four primary sections:

1. **API** - For testing API endpoints  
2. **History** - View your request history  
3. **Sets** - Manage saved requests  
4. **Monitor** - Set up endpoint monitoring

## Interface Overview  
### Main Panel  
The main area adapts based on your current section:

- **Request Builder**: Configure and send API requests  
- **Response Viewer**: Inspect API responses  
- **Map Viewer**: Visualize geospatial data  
- **Monitoring Dashboard**: Track endpoint status

## Quick Start Tutorial  
### 1. Make Your First Request  
1. Click on the **API** section in the sidebar  
2. Select a request type (GET, POST, etc.)  
3. Choose a service type (JSON, WMS, WFS, etc.)  
4. Enter a URL in the request field  
5. Click **Send** to execute the request

### 2. View the Response  
- Check the **Status**, **Time**, and **Size** in the response section  
- Switch between **Body**, **Headers**, and **Layers** tabs  
- For map services, layers will be automatically detected

### 3. Add to Map (For Geospatial Services)  
- If your request returns spatial data, you'll see available layers  
- Select layers to add them to the map viewer  
- Use the map controls to pan, zoom, and inspect features

### 4. Save Your Work  
- Use the **Sets** section to save frequently used requests  
- Create collections of related API endpoints  
- Export your sets to share with team members
