# General questions
### I don't know where to start, help me !
There is a Core Lightning plugin specifically for this purpose, it's called [`helpme`](https://github.com/lightningd/plugins/tree/master/helpme).
Assuming you have followed the [installation steps](doc:installation), have `lightningd` up and running, and `lightning-cli` in your `$PATH` you can start the plugin like so:
```shell
# Clone the plugins repository
git clone https://github.com/lightningd/plugins
# Make sure the helpme plugin is executable (git should have already handled this)
chmod +x plugins/helpme/helpme.py
# Install its dependencies (there is only one actually)
pip3 install --user -r plugins/helpme/requirements.txt
# Then just start it :)
lightning-cli plugin start $PWD/plugins/helpme/helpme.py
```
The plugin registers a new command `helpme` which will guide you through the main
components of C-lightning:
```shell
lightning-cli helpme
```
### How to get the balance of each channel ?
You can use the `listfunds` command and take a ratio of `our_amount_msat` over
