- content_for(:title, 'Getting started') markdown: # Getting started ## 1. Install the recorder The latest stable version of asciinema can always be installed or updated to via [pip](http://www.pip-installer.org/en/latest/index.html): sudo pip install --upgrade asciinema See [installation docs](#{docs_path(:installation)}) for more installation methods (Ubuntu, Fedora, Arch Linux, Gentoo). ## 2. Record Go to your terminal and run the following command: $ asciinema rec New shell will be spawned and everything you do in it will get recorded. When you're finished simply exit the shell either by typing `exit` or hitting ``. ## 3. Create your profile (optional) If you want your recordings to be assigned to your asciinema profile run the following command: $ asciinema auth If you skip this step now, you can always run the above command later and all previously recorded asciicasts will automatically get assigned to your new profile. NOTE: To be able to edit/delete your recordings you have to assign them to your profile. Btw, see sickill's profile.
