# How-to guides

> Focused instructions for installation, support evidence, plugins, team configuration, and migration work.

Use a how-to guide when the outcome is known and you need the shortest safe
procedure:

- [Install the desktop or headless binary](../desktop-installation.md)
- [Create and review a support bundle](../support-bundles.md)
- [Author or install an out-of-process plugin](../plugin-sdk.md)
- [Apply signed team configuration](../team-configuration.md)
- [Migrate to the v1 contract](../migration-v1.md)
- [Develop a transport or platform adapter](../adapter-development.md)

For a first project, use the [tutorial index](../tutorials/index.md) instead.
