# Getting Started with the Rechat Plugin

Before you begin, make sure you meet the following requirement:

* A **Figma account** (both free and paid plans are supported).

**Step 1: Open Figma**

Launch the **Figma desktop application** and sign in to your account.

{% hint style="success" %}
You can use Figma either by downloading the **desktop app** ([Download here](https://www.figma.com/downloads/)) or by running it directly in your **browser** at [figma.com](https://www.figma.com).
{% endhint %}

**Step 2: Create a New Design File**

From the Figma start screen, select **Design** to create a new design file. This will serve as the workspace where you can build templates for Rechat.
