+Quick Start
+===========
+Here we will cover the basics for a small project in Pecan. More advanced
+examples and methods are not covered here.
+
+.. note::
+    We will not cover how to get Pecan installed here. If you need installation
+    details please go to :ref:`installation`
+
+
+We include a basic template to have a good layout for a Pecan project. This is
+accomplished by ``PasteScript`` so we need to invoke a command to create our
+example project::
+
+    $ paster create -t pecan-base
+
+The above commnad will prompt you for a project name. I chose *test_project*,
+this is how it looks like when we run the whole command:: 
+
+    $ paster create -t pecan-base
+    Selected and implied templates:
+      pecan#pecan-base  Template for creating a basic Framework package
+
+    Enter project name: test_project
+    Variables:
+      egg:      test_project
