    The next sections are **not necessarily "advanced"**.

    And it's possible that for your use case, the solution is in one of them.

## Read the Tutorial first

You could still use most of the features in **FastAPI** with the knowledge from the main [Tutorial - User Guide](../tutorial/index.md){.internal-link target=_blank}.

"_If anyone is looking to build a production Python API, I would highly recommend **FastAPI**. It is **beautifully designed**, **simple to use** and **highly scalable**, it has become a **key component** in our API first development strategy and is driving many automations and services such as our Virtual TAC Engineer._"

Using it in your editor is what really shows you the benefits of FastAPI, seeing how little code you have to write, all the type checks, autocompletion, etc.

## Install FastAPI

The first step is to install FastAPI.

For the tutorial, you might want to install it with all the optional dependencies and features:

<div class="termy">

```console
$ pip install "fastapi[all]"

---> 100%
```

## Read the Tutorial first

The next sections assume you already read the main [Tutorial - User Guide: Security](../../tutorial/security/index.md){.internal-link target=_blank}.

"_Si quelqu'un cherche à construire une API Python de production, je recommande vivement **FastAPI**. Il est **bien conçu**, **simple à utiliser** et **très évolutif**. Il est devenu un **composant clé** dans notre stratégie de développement API first et il est à l'origine de nombreux automatismes et services tels que notre ingénieur virtuel TAC._"

„_Falls irgendjemand eine Produktions-Python-API erstellen möchte, kann ich **FastAPI** wärmstens empfehlen. Es ist **wunderschön konzipiert**, **einfach zu verwenden** und **hoch skalierbar**; es ist zu einer **Schlüsselkomponente** in unserer API-First-Entwicklungsstrategie geworden und treibt viele Automatisierungen und Dienste an, wie etwa unseren virtuellen TAC-Ingenieur._“

**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?

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 many other things...

All these, while minimizing code repetition.

## First Steps

Let's see a very simple example. It will be so simple that it is not very useful, for now.

But this way we can focus on how the **Dependency Injection** system works.

### Create a dependency, or "dependable"

Let's first focus on the dependency.
