    * Run the included example file (https://starkit.readthedocs.io/en/latest/getting_started.html). 
    * Get familiar with our development model (we're using the TARDIS development model) [[http://tardis.readthedocs.org/en/latest/workflow/development_workflow.html|development model]] using git and github (http://tardis.readthedocs.org/en/latest/workflow/git_workflow.html).
