"Getting started with Raspberry Pi Pico-series"  

https://datasheets.raspberrypi.com/pico/getting-started-with-pico.pdf

If you can't follow that you probably shouldn't be messing with a Pico 
without adult supervision. 

1. Install VS Code
2. Install the Raspberry Pi Pico VS Code Extension
3. Compile and run 'blink'

"The extension will now download the SDK and the toolchain, install them 
locally, and generate the new project. The first project may take 5-10 
minutes to install the toolchain. VS Code will ask you whether you trust 
the authors because we’ve automatically generated the .vscode directory 
for you. Select yes."

On some Linux distros you may have to install python, git, tar, and build-
essentials.

Or CircuitPython. 

CircuitPython is aimed at newbies.

https://learn.adafruit.com/getting-started-with-raspberry-pi-pico-
circuitpython/overview

The projects in the documentation follow the RPi MicroPython document so 
it's easy to see the differences. I think they're working on it but CP 
doesn't support interrupts or threading. Interrupts rather than polling 
may or may not be more efficient.

Or the Arduino framework. 

https://arduino-pico.readthedocs.io/en/latest/

Either the Arduino IDE v1, v2, or VS Code with the PlatformIO plugin makes 
that pretty painless.
