# Getting Started

In order to start your journey with the YouMinter app users need to:

**1.  Download an app**

Download from [App Store](https://apps.apple.com/app/apple-store/id1591036487) or [Google Play](https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=app.youminter.com).

**2. Sign-up for YouMinter**

You will be able to sign up for YouMinter using your email address. You will receive a verification code that you need to key in to enter the app.

**3. Create a new Wallet or connect the existing one**

**Option 1.** By setting your username you also create a new wallet.

The app will generate a 12-word secret phrase. This will be used to recover your Wallet if you uninstall the app.

***Important*** – Note this phrase and save it somewhere safe (Write it down physically and store it somewhere only you will have access to.)

**Option2.** In case you have a NEAR wallet already, please enter its address and simply connect it by entering your Seed Phrase that was assigned to this wallet.

***Important notice:** The wallet you use in YouMinter is **non-custodial**, so we have no access to wallet's public or private keys. Users have full control over their assets.*

Once the user has a Wallet, it’s time to claim your Camera. Camera is an in-app tool that allows users to post in YouMinter app. Each user gets one free level 1 Common Camera generated randomly. Once you claim a Camera you are ready to start your journey with YouMinter.

Congrats! You are all set.

## 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://whitepaper.youminter.com/getting-started.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`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.
