+# REPL
+
+Read-Eval-Print-Loop (REPL) is a simple, interactive computer programming
+environment that takes single user inputs (i.e. single expressions), evaluates
+them, and returns the result to the user.
+
+The `repl` module provides REPL implementation that can be accessed using:
+
+* Assuming you have `electron` or `electron-prebuilt` installed as a local
+  project dependency:
+
+  ```sh
+  ./node_modules/.bin/electron --interactive
+  ```
+* Assuming you have `electron` or `electron-prebuilt` installed globally:
+
+  ```sh
+  electron --interactive
+  ```
