+
+### The simplest way to get started:
+
+```bash
+$ npm install unleash-server -g
+$ unleash -d postgres://unleash_user:passord@localhost:5432/unleash -p 4242
+
+Unleash started on port:4242
+```
+
+### Or programmatically:
+
+```js
+const unleash = require('unleash-server');
+
+unleash.start({
+  databaseUri: 'postgres://unleash_user:passord@localhost:5432/unleash'
+  port: 4242
+}).then(unleash => {
+    console.log(`Unleash started on port:${unleash.app.get('port')}`);
+});
+```
