+Gettings started
+----
+
+### Requirements
+
+Before executing these examples, make sure you have [node.js](https://nodejs.org) installed:
+
+```bash
+node -v
+```
+Expected output could be `v10.0.0`, otherwise please instale `node` and `npm`. You will find detailed instructions how to install these on the web.
+
+### Clone the repository
+
+If you prefer SSH:
+
+```bash
+git clone git@github.com:stardustjs/stardust-examples.git
+```
+
+or if you prefer HTTPS:
+
+```bash
+https://github.com/stardustjs/stardust-examples.git
+```
+Both will work.
+
+### Install dependencies
+
+Change directory into the new repository (`cd stardust-examples`) and install all dependencies:
+
+```bash
+npm install
+```
+
+Or if you prefer `yarn`:
+
+```bash
+yarn
+```
+
+### Serve examples
+
+This package has a built-in node server from which you can serve the examples on your local machine. Therefore use one of these scripts:
+
+| command        | description                                                              |
+|----------------|--------------------------------------------------------------------------|
+| npm run build  | Transpile all examples for distribution on an external server            |
+| npm run start  | Serve examples on locale machine. Before serving, mind to build it first |
+| npm run watch  | Serve development server with hot reloads                                |
+| npm run deploy | Deploy examples                                                          |
+
+If you prefer `yarn`, just replace `npm run` with `yarn`. For example `yarn build`.
