+To use the basic features of Pattern Lab to compile patterns, you must have **PHP 5.4+** installed. On Mac OS X Pattern Lab should work "out of the box." If you're on Windows you can [download PHP from PHP.net](http://windows.php.net/download/). Pattern Lab comes with its own built-in web server.
+
+Pattern Lab uses [Composer](https://getcomposer.org/) to manage project dependencies. It's required if you want to install Pattern Lab using Composer's `create-project` command or if you want to upgrade Pattern Lab in the future.

+This will install the Standard Edition for Mustache into a directory called `your-project-name` in `install/location/`. When prompted choose the "demo" StarterKit. You will be automatically dropped into the project directory after the process is finished.
+
+## Get Up and Running
+
+After installing do the following start Pattern Lab:
+
+1. In a terminal window navigate to the root of your project if you aren't there already
+2. Type `php core/console --server --with-watch`
+
+You should now be able to open [http://localhost:8080](http://localhost:8080) to see your generated site. Any changes you make in `./source/` will automatically rebuild your site and reload your browser.
+
+As you get more comfortable with Pattern Lab you can [integrate it with a Gulp or Grunt workflow](http://patternlab.io/docs/advanced-integration-with-grunt.html) and drop some of the native Pattern Lab features like automatic browser reload.
+
+## More Documentation
+
+Obviously the reason to install Pattern Lab is more than the install process. [Check out the documentation](https://patternlab.io/docs/) to learn about how to use patterns, how to modify the data used to populate your patterns, and about some advanced features.
