# Setup
## Install
Download the latest version of Jasper from [jasperapp.io](https://jasperapp.io/) and extract the zip file. Follow the instructions to complete the launch.

{% endtab %}
{% tab title="Windows" %}
{% endtab %}
{% endtabs %}
## Setting up an access token
When Jasper is launched, you will be presented with a choice of GitHub or GHE (GitHub Enterprise), for GHE enter the hostname `example ghe.example.com`.
Next, you will need to enter an access token, which differs between GitHub and GHE.
{% tabs %}
{% tab title="For GitHub" %}
For GitHub, we recommend setting up an access token using OAuth. Please follow the on-screen instructions to perform OAuth authentication.
Alternatively, an access token can be created and used from a [Personal access token](https://github.com/settings/tokens). The required scopes are `repo`, `read:org`, `notifications`, `user` and `read:project` .
{% endtab %}
{% tab title="For GHE" %}
For GHE, you can create an access token from `https://GHE_HOST/settings/tokens`. The required scopes are `repo`, `read:org`, `notifications`, `user` and `read:project` .
{% endtab %}
{% endtabs %}
Finally, confirm the settings and press OK. When the user name is displayed, you are done 🎉.
## Initial loading
Once the setup is complete, the system will automatically start loading the issue. This initial loading takes a few minutes or so - do not exit Jasper and use it.
To help you get started with Jasper, please read the "[Basic Usage](/quick-start/basic-usage.md)" section during the initial loading process.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.
Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:
```
GET https://docs.jasperapp.io/quick-start/setup.md?ask=&goal=
```
`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.
The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.
Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
