# Quick Start

Get up and running with Actions SDK in just a few steps:

1. **Installation**

   Install the Actions SDK using npm:

   ```bash
   npm install @actions/sdk

   ```
2. **Create a Simple Action**

   Here's a basic example of creating a simple transfer action:

   ```jsx
   import { Action, TransferAction } from '@actions/sdk';

   const myAction: Action = {
       title: "Send ETH",
       icon: "<https://example.com/eth-icon.png>",
       description: "Send ETH to a specified address",
       label: "Transfer ETH",
       links: [
           {
               type: "transfer-action",
               label: "Send 0.1 ETH",
               address: {
                   type: "constant",
                   id: "recipientAddress",
                   value: "0x742d35Cc6634C0532925a3b844Bc454e4438f44e"
               },
               value: "100000000000000000", // 0.1 ETH in wei
               success: {
                   message: "Successfully sent 0.1 ETH!"
               },
               error: {
                   message: "Failed to send ETH. Please try again."
               }
           } as TransferAction
       ]
   };

   ```
3. **Validate the Action**

   Use the `validateAction` function to ensure your Action is correctly structured:

   ```jsx
   import { validateAction } from '@actions/sdk';

   const { valid, errors } = validateAction(myAction);
   if (valid) {
       console.log('Action is valid');
   } else {
       console.error('Validation errors:', errors);
   }

   ```
4. **Deploy the Action**

   Deploy your Action to IPFS using the `deployToIpfs` function:

   ```jsx
   import { deployToIpfs } from '@actions/sdk';

   const pinataCredentials = {
       apiKey: 'YOUR_PINATA_API_KEY',
       apiSecretKey: 'YOUR_PINATA_API_SECRET_KEY',
   };

   deployToIpfs(myAction, pinataCredentials)
       .then((ipfsHash) => console.log('Deployed to IPFS:', ipfsHash))
       .catch((error) => console.error('Deployment failed:', error));

   ```
5. **Use the Action**

   Once deployed, you can use the IPFS hash to reference and execute your Action in a Web3-enabled environment.

That's it! You've created, validated, and deployed your first Action. From here, you can explore more complex Actions, different types of linked actions, and advanced features of the Actions SDK.
