# Getting Started

Here, we exemplify the basic usage of `ParallelKDEpy` with the core estimator `gradepro`. For more details about the existing estimators, their parameters, as well as the more in-depth implementation details, please refer to the [ParallelKDE.jl documentation](https://chrissm23.github.io/ParallelKDE.jl/stable/).

To estimate a density on CPU with a default grid using the `gradepro` method, you can use the following code:

```{literalinclude} scripts/plot_kde.py
:language: python
:start-after: [docs-start]
:end-before: [docs-end]
```

That's it! See the {doc}`api` for more details on the available methods and parameters.
