# Step 0: Getting Started Checklist

Here is a short checklist before getting started with this tutorial:

1. If you haven't already installed the Revit plugin, you need to [download and install the plugin](/user-manual/getting-started/free-trial-of-pollination-products.md#downloading-the-installers) on your computer.
2. You need to [buy a license](/user-manual/getting-started/buying-pollination-products.md) if you have already used the 30-day trial period. See [this page](/user-manual/revit-plugin/core-concepts-and-best-practices/managing-pollination-revit-license.md) for managing the Pollination Revit license.
3. If you will be using a license from a Pollination organization, ensure you have been added to the correct license pool. [See this page for more information](/user-manual/getting-started/account-setup/managing-license-pools.md).
4. We will use the Revit Advanced Sample model for this tutorial. If you don't have the sample model, you can download it from [this page](https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1sUdlhcai6RS7IMr-_WjC1orQqesrm6lT?usp=sharing) for different versions of Revit.

Once you are ready, go to the Pollination tab and click on the **Export Model** button to open the Pollination plugin. If it is your first time opening the plugin you will need to log into your Pollination account.
