Getting started is confusing

It doesn't really tell how to install the toolkit which should be the FIRST thing on that page.

Integrating the DirectX Tool Kit into a project is tutorial lesson 3 after you are introduced to the basic render loop -and- the DeviceResources abstraction which is used for all the tutorial lessons.

Otherwise, you could try just jumping to Adding to a VS Solution but that assumes you already have a suitable project file.

I just added this to the top of Getting Started

This Getting Started Guide is a series of tutorial lessons for introducing the various functional parts of the tool kit. If you are just looking for basic integration instructions, see Adding to a VS solution.
