+****************************
+Getting Started
+****************************
+
+
+High-level API
+======================
+
+We start with a selection of high-level constructs in stormpy. 
+
+In order to do this, we import stormpy::
+
+	import stormpy
+	import stormpy.core
+	
+	
+Building models 
+-----------------------
+	
+There are several ways to create a Markov chain. 
+One of the easiest is to parse a description of such a Markov chain and to let storm build the chain. 
+
+Here, we build a Markov chain from a prism program.
+Stormpy comes with a small set of examples, which we use here::
+
+	import stormpy.examples
+
+With this, we can now import the path of our prism file::
+
+	path = stormpy.examples.knuth_yao
+	prism_program = stormpy.parse_prism_program(path)
+	
+The `prism_program` can be translated into 
+
+	
+

+Installation
+***********************
+
+Before installing stormpy, make sure `storm <https://moves-rwth.github.io/storm/>`_ is installed.
+
+Clone stormpy into any suitable location::
+
+	$ git clone https://srv-i2.informatik.rwth-aachen.de/scm/git/stormpy.git
+	$ cd stormpy
+	
+Here, build stormpy in develop mode using your favourite python distribution way of installing: e.g.::
+
+	$ python3 setup.py develop
+	
+or::
+
+	$ pip install -ve .
+	
+
+.. topic:: Specifying which storm library to use
+
+	If you have multiple versions of storm or cmake is not able to find your storm version, 
+	you can specify the `--storm-DIR YOUR-PATH-TO-STORM` flag in the build_ext step::
+	
+		$ python3 setup.py build_ext --storm-DIR YOUR-PATH-TO-STORM develop
+		
+		
+After building, you can run the test files by::
+
+	py.test tests/ 
+
