## Installation
|
|
|

First step is to install CVAT on your system:
|
|
- [Installation on Ubuntu](/docs/administration/basics/installation/#ubuntu-1804-x86_64amd64)
|
|
- [Installation on Windows 10](/docs/administration/basics/installation/#windows-10)
|
|
- [Installation on Mac OS](/docs/administration/basics/installation/#mac-os-mojave)
|
|
|
|
To learn how to create a superuser and log in to CVAT,
|
|
go to the [authorization](/docs/manual/basics/authorization/) section.
|
|
|

## Getting started in CVAT
|
|
|
|
To create a task, go to `Tasks` section. Click `Create new task` to go to the task creation page.
|
|
|

|
|
|
Set the label using the constructor: first click `Add label`, then enter the name of the label and choose the color.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
You need to upload images or videos for your future annotation. To do so, simply drag and drop the files.
|
|
|
|
