# Getting Started
## Install
Welcome!
Temple is a HTML DSL for Elixir, let's get started!
First, make sure you are using Elixir `V1.13` or higher.
Add `:temple` to your deps and run `mix deps.get`
```elixir
{:temple, "~> 0.9.0-rc.0"}
```
Now you must prepend the Temple compiler to your projects `:compilers` configuration in `mix.exs`. There is a chance that your project doesn't set this option at all, but don't worry, it's really easy to add!
```elixir
defmodule MyApp.MixProject do
use Mix.Project
def project do
[
# ...
compilers: [:temple] ++ Mix.compilers(),
# ...
]
end
# ...
end
```
All done, Now let's start building our app!
## Configuration
Temple works out of the box without any configuration, but here are a couple of conifg options that you could need to use.
### Engine
By default, Temple uses the built in `EEx.SmartEngine`. If you want to use a different engine, this is as easy as setting the `:engine` configuration option.
```elixir
# config/config.exs
config :temple,
engine: Phoenix.HTML.Engine
```
### Aliases
Temple code will reserve some local function calls for HTML tags. If you have a local function that you would like to use instead, you can create an alias for any tag.
Common aliases for Phoenix projects look like this:
```elixir
config :temple,
aliases: [
label: :label_tag,
link: :link_tag,
select: :select_tag,
textarea: :textarea_tag
]
```
