# Getting Started
## Requirements
* Adobe ColdFusion 2018+ or Lucee 5+
* ColdBox 6+
## Installation
Install [CommandBox](https://www.ortussolutions.com/products/commandbox).
Within the root of your project, run:
```bash
box install cbwire@3
```
If you want the latest bleeding edge, run:
```bash
box install cbwire@be
```
## Layout Setup
CBWIRE requires some lightweight CSS and JavaScript to be added to your ColdBox layout.
You can have CBWIRE do this for you by enabling the **autoInjectAssets** [Configuration](/3.x/configuration.md) property in your config/ColdBox.cfc file.
```javascript
// config/ColdBox.cfc
moduleSettings = {
"cbwire" : {
"autoInjectAssets": true
}
};
```
You can also manually add the references by calling **wireStyles()** and **wireScripts()** in your layout file.
```html
My Page
#wireStyles()#
#wireScripts()#
```
{% hint style="warning" %}
CBWIRE will not work if you do not add the wireStyles() and wireScripts() references to your layout or enable autoInjectAssets.
{% endhint %}
## Next Steps
You are ready to go. Now head to the [Making Components](/3.x/essentials/components.md) section to learn how to create and use CBWIRE components.
We also have numerous [Examples](/3.x/examples.md) you can review to get up and running quickly.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.
Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:
```
GET https://cbwire.ortusbooks.com/3.x/getting-started.md?ask=&goal=
```
`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.
The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.
Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
