+Basic usage
+-----------
+
+When you have the .NET Command Line Interface installed on your OS of choice, you can try it out using some of the samples on the [main Core repo](https://github.com/dotnet/core/). You can download the sample in a directory, and then do you can kick the tires of the CLI.
+
+First, you will need to restore the packages:
+	
+	dotnet restore
+	
+This will restore all of the packages that are specified in the project.json file of the given sample.
+
+Then you can either run from source or compile the sample. Running from source is straightforward:
+	
+	dotnet run
+	
+Compiling to IL is done using:
+	
+	dotnet compile
+This will drop a binary in `./bin/[configuration]/[framework]/[binary name]` that you can just run.
+
+Finally, you can also try out native compilation on Windows and Linux. **Note:** at this point, only the `helloworld` and `dotnetbot` samples will work with native compilation.
+
+	dotnet compile --native
+	
+This will drop a native single binary in `./bin/[configuration]/[framework]/native/[binary name]` that you can run.
