The **Advanced User Guide** builds on this one, uses the same concepts, and teaches you some extra features.

But you should first read the **Tutorial - User Guide** (what you are reading right now).

# History, Design and Future { #history-design-and-future }

Some time ago, <a href="https://github.com/fastapi/fastapi/issues/3#issuecomment-454956920" class="external-link" target="_blank">a **FastAPI** user asked</a>:

> What’s the history of this project? It seems to have come from nowhere to awesome in a few weeks [...]

Here's a little bit of that history.

## Alternatives { #alternatives }

     * This is usually set by the Maven launcher script using the "maven.home" system property.
     *
     * @return the Maven installation directory path
     */
    @Nonnull
    Path installationDirectory();

    /**
     * Returns the user's home directory.
     * This is typically obtained from the "user.home" system property.
     *
     * @return the user's home directory path
     */
    @Nonnull
    Path userHomeDirectory();

val propagatedEnvironmentVariables = listOf(
    // Obviously necessary
    "HOME",
    "SHELL",
    "TERM",

    // Otherwise Windows complains "Unrecognized Windows Sockets error: 10106"
    "SystemRoot",
    "OS",

    // For Android tests
    "ANDROID_HOME",
    "ANDROID_SDK_ROOT",
    // legacy and new android user home
    "ANDROID_USER_HOME",
    "ANDROID_PREFS_ROOT",

    // Used by Visual Studio

**FastAPI** provides several tools to help you deal with **Security** easily, rapidly, in a standard way, without having to study and learn all the security specifications.

But first, let's check some small concepts.

## In a hurry? { #in-a-hurry }

If you don't care about any of these terms and you just need to add security with authentication based on username and password *right now*, skip to the next chapters.

# (And we run it after the main build so that that build has already downloaded Java 11 if necessary.)
./mvnw --projects '!guava-testlib,!guava-tests,!guava-bom,!guava-gwt' initialize -P print-java-11-home
export JAVA_HOME=$(<target/java_11_home)

# Gradle Wrapper overwrites some files when it runs.
# To avoid modifying the Git client, we copy everything we need to another directory.
# That provides general hygiene, including avoiding release errors:

# Custom Docs UI Static Assets (Self-Hosting) { #custom-docs-ui-static-assets-self-hosting }

The API docs use **Swagger UI** and **ReDoc**, and each of those need some JavaScript and CSS files.

    * A "token" is just a string with some content that we can use later to verify this user.
    * Normally, a token is set to expire after some time.
        * So, the user will have to log in again at some point later.
        * And if the token is stolen, the risk is less. It is not like a permanent key that will work forever (in most of the cases).
