Hi @rajput999,

Welcome to the forum! 😉

There are two main ways to work with p5.js:

- Use the [p5.js online editor](https://editor.p5js.org/) to instantly write your sketch and see the result without installing anything. You can even save your code and media files!

- For a more advanced / customizable usage, you can code on your own computer using a text editor. For that refer to the official documentation: [get started | p5.js](https://p5js.org/get-started/#settingUp)

Happy coding! 😋
