# Next steps after you get your hardware

Once you've gotten your equipment, you'll want to head to the "[Setting Up Your Intel Edison](http://openaps.readthedocs.io/en/latest/docs/walkthrough/phase-0/setup-edison.html)" page. **Note that this page has setup instructions for all types of computers, and also has the most thorough troubleshooting section**. There is also an Edison setup page for Mac specifically ([see the Mac-Edison page here](http://openaps.readthedocs.io/en/latest/docs/walkthrough/phase-0/edison-explorer-board-Mac.html)) and for PC specifically ([see the PC-Edison page here](http://openaps.readthedocs.io/en/latest/docs/walkthrough/phase-0/windows-edison.html)). Even with the Mac or PC specific pages, you may find the main page with all setup types to have the most thorough troubleshooting section if you run into any trouble.
