# Overview

The Getting Started guides walk you through your first experience with the Maverics Orchestrator -- from installing it on your infrastructure to protecting a real application with single sign-on. Whether you are an IAM administrator setting up identity routing for the first time or a developer integrating authentication into your stack, these guides give you a hands-on path to a working deployment.

Before you begin, make sure you have [Console access and an organization set up](/introduction/getting-started).

Start with the Quick Start if you want to get up and running fast. Move to Protect Your First Application when you are ready to see a complete, production-style configuration with session management and identity propagation.
