This is not quite the same as the usual “getting started” documentation for JUCE. That already exists at https://www.juce.com/tutorials. My aim here is to tell you a bunch of things the JUCE tutorials don't tell you, so you can avoid having to learn them all the hard way, as I did.

• Preparing your PC or Mac to build audio plugins with JUCE
• Downloading and installing JUCE
• Getting past the opening hurdles
• Getting started with the Projucer
