+
+## Get Started
+
+### Jumpstart
+
+Assumed you have finished your [initial setup of CAP Node.js](https://cap.cloud.sap/docs/get-started/#setup), simply copy and dump these lines to your terminal for a jumpstart:
+
+```sh
+git clone -q https://github.com/sap-samples/cloud-cap-samples cap/samples
+cd cap/samples
+npm install
+npm test
+npm start
+```
+
+This download the sample content, does a minimum setup, and after running some tests and launching the bookshop server, it should open a browser window on http://localhost:4004 which looks like that:
+
+![bookshop showing up in browser](etc/index-html.png)
+
+Click on the *[/vue](http:/localhost:4004/vue)* link at the top to display the bookshop app. When asked to log in, type `alice` as user and leave the password field blank.
