You decided to join Codewars? That's great! There are a few steps to create your new account and start solving tasks, learning, and improving your skills!

## First step

First, go to the [Sign Up](https://www.codewars.com/join) page. You will be presented with a board featuring many languages:

![languages board](./img/registering_01_choose_language.png)

Choose a language that you like, want to learn, or are familiar with. It will be used to present your first challenge.

## Your first challenge

This is an entry-level task that you must solve to prove your dedication and commitment to learning. Let's see.

The task states: "The code does not execute properly. Try to figure out why." Let's take a closer look. Of course! A tiny detail is missing that is causing a compilation error! Put it in the correct place, fix the code, and click `SUBMIT`. The server will process the solution and soon you will receive the test report. Don't worry if you made a mistake and your answer is incorrect! Click `TRY AGAIN` and fix your solution.

If your answer is correct, you will experience the best thing in the life of a coder _[citation needed]_: **green tests**! Congratulations!

## Your new account

Congratulations! You solved your first Codewars challenge. Now you are ready to finish creating your account. Simply fill in a few details or use your GitHub account to authenticate yourself on Codewars:

![enlist](./img/registering_05_enlist.png)

Great! Your account is registered.

**Important note:** Codewars will send you an email asking to confirm the account. Some actions such as posting comments will be restricted until your account is confirmed. If you cannot find the email in your inbox, check your spam folder. The button to resend the confirmation email is located in Account Settings if your account is not yet confirmed. We'll show you where to find Account Settings soon.

## Next steps

You have successfully created an account and registered it with Codewars. You are strongly recommended to [set up](/getting-started/setting-up/) your account and training routine. If you wish, you can go straight to your [dashboard](https://www.codewars.com/dashboard) or find your [next challenges to solve](/getting-started/finding-kata/).

Your training with Codewars has just began. Good luck!
You’ve decided to join Codewars; that’s great! If you need help signing up, follow these steps to create your new account and start solving tasks (Kata), learning, and improving your programming skills! 

## How to sign up 
First, go to our [sign-up](https://www.codewars.com/join) page. Here, you will have the option to create a Codewars account in one of two ways;  
1. Type your username and email address, and create a password.
2. Sign up using your GitHub Account.  

**Important note:**
Once your account is set up, you will receive an email asking to confirm your email address. Please be aware that certain features on Codewars will be limited until your account is confirmed. Check your spam folder if you cannot find the email in your inbox.

If you can’t find this email, you can request it again by logging into your account, heading to your ‘account settings,’ and selecting ‘resend.’  

## Establish your training settings 
Once you have signed up, you can select some training settings on Codewars. These settings will help us recommend challenges (Kata) to you and provide you with more opportunities on Codewars. These settings allow you to tell us how much programming experience you have, what languages you have experience in, and what programming languages you wish to train in (e.g., what languages you will challenge yourself with Codewars Kata). 

## What’s next? 
Once your training settings have been saved, you will be brought to your training dashboard. Here, you will find your allies (accounts you follow or members of your [Clan](https://docs.codewars.com/community/following/#clans)), the latest comments on Codewars, and, most importantly, your [next challenge to solve](https://docs.codewars.com/getting-started/finding-kata/)

You’re now ready to train on Codewars; enjoy!
