Getting started
These sections should provide you with all the information needed to install the @polkadot/api package, understand the structure of the interfaces and allow you to start using it. For existing users this really should be titled "Things I wish I knew before I started using the api" - it really aims to close the gap to allow anybody to get to grips with using the packages.
What this is not
This is not line-by-line documentation of all the extising function calls available, nor it is tied to a specific chain. (Although the examples do refer to the base Substrate & Polkadot chains). There will be some things in the API that are probably not covered, which brings us to the next point...

Ready? Steady? Go!
With all that said, let's get started... What should be installed, and how should we do it?
