# Megatron-Energon Documentation

This is the documentation of Megatron's multi-modal data loader "Energon".

We recommend getting started in the [Introduction](intro/introduction) section, which explains what Energon is and how to install it.

Once installed, check out the **Basic Usage** section starting with [Quickstart](basic/quickstart) for some basic examples and tutorials.
Some underlying concepts, will be explained in the rest of that section.

For specific use cases and advanced usage, please read **Advanced Usage**.

In the end you will also find some documentation on how to interface with energon programmatically and how to contribute to the code base.
