# Why to follow this tutorial?


## First - what do I get if I follow this?

 You will have CAT properly installed, including prerequisites. You will learn basics of CAT on a simple example. You will be able to interact with CAT from your Python code - creating projects, exploring tests, running them, work with the results etc.

*Use CAT seamlessly from your Python code*

Because you will explore sample tests and run them in this tutorial, **it will give you a rough idea what CAT can check for you on your real data.** (The sample project works with supplied CSV files, but CAT supports [many providers](https://docs.justcat.it/reference/data-sources/providers/overview/ "Providers")).

> **😺:** **Important:**

Please follow this tutorial, it will consume less time than trying out to setup everything without any introduction.




## What do I need to follow?

If all goes smoothly, you will need 10 - 15 minutes of your time. And Python of course - but you already installed Python, right? It will be handy to have it on your machine.

On the other hand - what do you not need?

* You do NOT need admin permissions
* You do NOT need to pay anything or enter a credit card - a free trial covers this whole tutorial
* You do NOT need to connect to your data (sample data is provided)
