+Getting Started
+---------------
+
+1. Install the rust package manager `cargo`. Goto [rustup] and follow the instructions on
+   the page (in my experience this works fine for Windows, Ubuntu and OS X).
+2. Run `cargo new --bin hello_vikos`.
+3. switch to the `hello_vikos` directory.
+4. Run `cargo run` to execute the hello world program. 
+3. Edit the `Cargo.toml` file. Add `vikos = "0.1.6"` to your dependencies. The file should
+   now look somewhat like this:
+   ```
+   [package]
+   name = "hello_vikos"
+   version = "0.1.0"
+   authors = ["Klein, Markus <Markus.Klein@blue-yonder.com>"]
+
+   [dependencies]
+   vikos = "0.1.6"
+   ```
+4. You can now start replacing code in `main.rs` with code from the [tutorial].
