# Install

> Set up Act Operator and scaffold your first Act project.

This step checks prerequisites and creates your first Act project.

## Prerequisites

* Python **3.11+**
* uv installed

Verify your environment:

```bash theme={null}
python --version
uv --version
```

## Create a new Act project

From the directory where you want your project:

```bash theme={null}
uvx --from act-operator act new
```

Act Operator will prompt for project details and generate a structured Act with an initial Cast.
