+# Introduction & Quick Start
+
+Welcome to **Multi-PHP**, the all-in-one local development environment for Windows. This guide will walk you through the first steps and help you get your environment up and running.
+
+---
+
+## 🚀 Quick Start
+
+Follow these steps to get started with your first PHP project:
+
+1.  **Launch Multi-PHP**: Open the application from your desktop or start menu.
+2.  **Dashboard Overview**: On your first launch, you'll see the Dashboard. This is your control center for all services.
+3.  **Download PHP**: Go to `Settings > PHP Versions` and download at least one PHP version (e.g., PHP 8.3).
+4.  **Start Services**: Click the **"Start All"** button on the Dashboard to launch Nginx/Apache and MariaDB.
+5.  **Create a Project**: Navigate to the **"My Projects"** tab and add your first project folder.
+

+
+## 🏢 Core Components
+
+Multi-PHP bundles several essential tools for modern web development:
+
+| Component | Description |
+| :--- | :--- |
+| **PHP-FPM** | High-performance FastCGI process manager for PHP. |
+| **Nginx** | Modern, lightweight, and fast web server. |
+| **Apache** | Robust, traditional web server with `.htaccess` support. |
+| **MariaDB** | The community-developed, commercially supported fork of MySQL. |
+| **phpMyAdmin** | Web interface for easy database management. |
+
+---
+
+> [!IMPORTANT]
+> Some services might fail to start if their default ports (80, 3306) are already being used by other applications (like Skype or another XAMPP installation). Check the **"Settings"** to change these ports if needed.
