-# Quickstart guide to MPF
+# Quickstart guide to MPF 0.80 and GMC
 
 This is for people who know what they're doing. If you're lost, check out our full
 [installation guides](../install/index.md).
 
-1. MPF requires Python 3.7 - 3.9. Newer than 3.9 won't work. (Update: MPF 0.57 supports Python 3.10 & 3.11. See our [0.57 page](0.57.md) for details.)
+1. MPF requires Python 3.8 - 3.12. Validate that you have a supported version of Python with `python3 --version`.
 
-2. `pip install mpf`
+1. Create a virtual environment for mpf. In your home folder (or virtual environments folder) type `python3 -m venv mpf`
 
-3. `pip install mpf-monitor`
+1. Activate your virtual environment: `source mpf/bin/activate` (on Mac/Linux) or `mpfenv/Scripts/Activate.ps1` (Windows PowerShell)
 
-4. Create a folder for your machine config files as outlined in the [tutorial](../tutorial/index.md).
+1. Install MPF 0.80: `pip install --pre mpf`
 
-We do not recommend installing the Media Controller right away since it's more of a pain to get installed, and
-you don't need it yet.
+1. Download the Godot Editor from https://godotengine.org
+
+1. Download the latest GMC release from https://github.com/missionpinball/mpf-gmc/releases/
+
+1. Open the Godot Editor and create a new Project in a new folder of your choosing.
+
+1. Navigate to that folder in your terminal and create an MPF config file.
+
+``` console
+
+    mkdir config
+    echo "#config_version=6" > config/config.yaml
+```
+
+1. Extract the GMC download and copy the *addons* folder into your project folder.
+
+1. In the Godot Editor, go to *Project Settings > Plugins" and check the Enable box for **Godot MC**. (Godot will show lots of errors, ignore them).
+
+1. In the Godot Editor *Project Settings > Autoload* select the folder to add a new Autoload and choose the file *addons/mpf-gmc/mpd_gmc.gd*. Set the Node name to `MPF` (all caps) and press Add.
+
+1. Save your Godot project and then in the editor menu select *Project > Reload Current Project*.
+
+1. Press the play button in the top-right of the Godot Editor. When prompted to select a main scene, select *addons/mpf-gmc/slides/window.tscn*. You should see a window appear with the MPF logo.
+
+1. In your terminal, type `mpf -xt`
+
+The Godot window should now say "Connected to MPF". Congratulations, you're running a pinball game!
