# Installation

To start using Request Ranger, you can choose between three installation methods: downloading it directly from the Apple App Store, manually downloading releases from our GitHub release page or building the release yourself. This page outlines the steps for both installation methods, as well as the benefits of each option.

{% hint style="info" %}
We highly recommend to stick installing releases from the Apple App Store if you don't aim to perform code changes on Request Ranger.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://www.requestranger.com/getting-started/installation.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
