Is it neccessary to start Taraweeh from the 1st of Ramadhan?

There are two Sunnats in Taraweeh:
1. To perform 20 Rakaats every night of Ramadhaan. This applies to the first
of Ramadhaan as well.
2. To recite the entire Qur'aan in Taraweeh at least once in the entire
month. This recitation of the entire Qur'aan may commence and complete on
any chosen date, provided that at least one entire recitation of the whole
Qur'aan is made in Taraweeh Salaat.

and Allah Ta'ala Knows Best
