+Getting Started with Budibase
+
+### 1. Prerequisites (for nodegyp)
+
+We will try to make this bit easier, but for now:
+
+- Windows  - https://github.com/nodejs/node-gyp#on-windows
+- Ubuntu `sudo apt-get install build-essentials`
+- Mac: https://github.com/nodejs/node-gyp#on-macos
+
+### 2. Global install budibase
+
+`npm install -g budibase`
+
+### 3. Start using Budibase
+
+Create a directory to store your Budibase apps
+
+`mkdir my-budibase`
+
+`cd my-budibase`
+
+Initialise Budibase in current directory
+
+`budi init`
+
+Create a new Budibase app
+
+`budi new my-app`
+
+Run Budibase
+
+`budi`
+
+You can now access the Budibase builder on http://localhost:4001/_builder
+
+Start building!
+
+Once you have created your app, you need to create yourself an instance of your app (i.e. a database)
+
+`budi instance my-app`
+
