-To get started you need to install the SDK and plugins, create a TracerProvider and/or MeterProvider, and register it with the API.

 ## Version Compatibility
 
 Because the npm installer and node module resolution algorithm could potentially allow two or more copies of any given package to exist within the same `node_modules` structure, the OpenTelemetry API takes advantage of a variable on the `global` object to store the global API. When an API method in the API package is called, it checks if this `global` API exists and proxies calls to it if and only if it is a compatible API version. This means if a package has a dependency on an OpenTelemetry API version which is not compatible with the API used by the end user, the package will receive a no-op implementation of the API.
@@ -122,7 +96,6 @@ tracerProvider.register({
 If you are writing an instrumentation library, or prefer to call the API methods directly rather than using the `register` method on the Tracer/Meter Provider, OpenTelemetry provides direct access to the underlying API methods through the `@opentelemetry/api` package. API entry points are defined as global singleton objects `trace`, `metrics`, `propagation`, and `context` which contain methods used to initialize SDK implementations and acquire resources from the API.
