 title: Getting Started
 ---
 
-Talk about how to get started.
+First make sure you have Java, Maven and Git installed on your machine.  Oh 
you are already rocking? OK let's go!
+
+1. Clone the tour onto your machine:
+```commandline
+git clone -b tour https://github.com/apache/accumulo-website.git tour
+cd tour
+```
+2. Open Main.java in your favorite editor.
+```commandline
+vim ./src/main/java/tour/Main.java
+```
+Notice the main method creates a MiniAccumuloCluster with a root password of 
"tourguide".  MiniAccumuloCluster is a mini
+version of Accumulo that runs on your local filesystem.  It should only be 
used for development purposes but will work
+great here on the tour.
+
+3. Modify the _exercise_ method to print a hello message. You will put your 
code in this method for each lesson.
+```java
+private static void exercise(MiniAccumuloCluster mac) {
