After installing Cantera and finishing these tutorials, you should be ready to begin using Cantera. The next steps, linked below the tutorials, provide information in this regard.

First, let's pick an interface language and get started with the tutorials. Note that while Cantera can be accessed via other interfaces (namely Fortran and directly in C++), Python and Matlab present the most convenient interfaces for learning about Cantera, and are the interface of preference for the vast majority of Cantera users.

Using Cantera for a range of problems will likely require you to extend your knowledge in two ways:

• You will need an input file describing the phase(s) of matter relevant to your problem.

• Your application may very well require function calls and routines not necessarily covered in the tutorials.

The links below will help you take the 'next steps,' and point you to:

• Information on how to locate and work with Cantera input files (which contain the thermodynamic, transport, and chemical kinetic information for the phases of interest).

• Detailed documentation and user guides for accessing Cantera via Python, Matlab, and directly via C++. For advanced and intermediate users, the documentation is an easily-searchable repository for information on specific functions of interest.

• A repository of examples, demonstrating how to use Cantera to solve a diverse range of problems. You can either use these examples directly, or use them as a template to develop your own applications.
