# Getting started
You will begin by creating a fresh profile using the SPT-AKI launcher. By following this tutorial, you'll prepare everything needed to proceed with the next steps.
In this part you will be doing the following:
1. Create a new profile
2. Identify your newly created profile.
3. Learn how to back up a profile simply.
## Legend
The table below is a set of "expressions" that will be used to avoid writing informations that might not apply to your use case, such as the path to your SPT-AKI installation, or a randomly generated value.
Expression | What | Example
--------------|-----------------------------|--------
`%game%` | SPT-AKI install location. | `C:\Games\SPT-AKI`
`%profileID%` | File containing a profile. | `C:\Games\SPT-AKI\Server\user\profiles\9dbfcbf0d3be487b9ac20cd8.json`
## Creating a new profile
You want a way to fool around in SPT-AKI but without also ruining the fun of having a character evolving normally. As such creating a new dedicated profile is probably the best way of achiving this goal.
To create a new profile:
1. Start SPT-AKI's server by going into `%game%\server\` and double clicking on the server executable.
2. Start SPT-AKI's launcher by going into `%game%\` and double clicking on the launcher executable.
3. Create a new profile through the launcher.
