+# Getting Started #
+
+These steps will get this sample application running for you using DigitalOcean.
+
+**Note: Following these steps will result in charges for the use of DigitalOcean Droplets**
+
+## Requirements
+
+* Docker must be [installed locally](https://docs.docker.com/install/) on your machine, unless you choose to build remotely via Github Actions (beyond the scope of this README)
+* You need a DigitalOcean account. If you don't already have one, you can sign up at https://cloud.digitalocean.com/registrations/new
+    
+
+## Installing App Sail ##
+
+To install the App Sail CLI, visit https://cloud.digitalocean.com/appsail and choose to Create or Launch a new app. Follow the on-screen instructions for installing the CLI.
+
+## Downloading the Sample App Source Code
+
+To download the demo app run in your terminal:
+
+	git clone https://github.com/digitalocean-appsail/sample-python.git
+	cd sample-python
+
+## Deploying the App ##
+
+	sail push
+
+It will ask for an auth key if you haven't used the sail CLI before. Retrieve it from [the auth page](https://cloud.digitalocean.com/appsail/auth).
+
+Then it will ask how to configure the app.
+Answer the questions as follows:
+
+        ✓ Is this app already live (on App Sail)?: No
+        ✓ Name this app : sample-python
+        ✓ Need to set any env variables: No
+        Let's configure your app for deployment:
+        ✓ Choose your configuration preference: Automatic...
+        ✓ Python app detected, is this correct: Yes
+        ✓ What is the command to start your app: python *.py
+        ✓ Do you need any background workers: No
+        ✓ Do you need a database: No
+
+
+After that, it will go through a deploy process. Once it's done, you can open the live app or administration dashboard by following the links provided by the App Sail CLI once the push is completed.
+
+## Learn More ##
+
+You can learn more about App Sail and how to manage and update your application at https://www.digitalocean.com/docs/appsail/.
+
+
+## Deleting the App #
+
+When you no longer need this sample application running live, you can delete it by following these steps:
+1. Visit the app dashboard at https://cloud.digitalocean.com/appsail
+1. Navigate to the sample-python app
+1. Choose "App Config"->"Show More"
+1. Select "Delete", type your app's name, and click "Delete App".
+
+This will delete the app and destroy any underlying DigitalOcean Droplets. 
+
+**Note: If you don't delete your app, charges for the use of DigitalOcean Droplets will continue to accrue. Also, even if you delete your app, a new push to your sample-nodejs repo on Github will trigger a new deploy which will result in DigitalOcean charges.**
