+Get .NET Core on Windows with DNVM
+==================================
+
+These instructions will lead you through acquiring .NET Core via the [.NET Version Manager (DNVM)](https://github.com/aspnet/dnvm) and running a "Hello World" demo on Windows. The instructions use a particular set of paths. You'll need to adjust if you want to use a different set.
+
+These instructions are for .NET Core console apps. If you want to try out ASP.NET 5 on top of .NET Core - which is a great idea - check out the [ASP.NET 5 instructions](https://github.com/aspnet/home).
+
+.NET Core is distributed as NuGet packages. You can acquire it via [NuGet restore](get-coreclr-windows-nuget.md) or the .NET Version Manager (these instructions). Alternatively, you can [build from source](windows-instructions.md).
+
+You can see the [CoreCLR myget feed](https://www.myget.org/F/dotnet-core) @ the [dotnet-core gallery](https://www.myget.org/gallery/dotnet-core) page. These packages are not yet published to NuGet.org, but that will change soon.
+
+Installing DNVM
+===============
+
+You need DNVM as a starting point. DNVM enables you to acquire a (or multiple) .NET Execution Environment (DNX). DNVM is simply a script, which doesn't depend on .NET. You can install it via a PowerShell command. You can find alternate DNVM install itructions at the [ASP.NET Home repo](https://github.com/aspnet/home).
+
+ @powershell -NoProfile -ExecutionPolicy unrestricted -Command "&{$Branch='dev';iex ((new-object net.webclient).DownloadString('https://raw.githubusercontent.com/aspnet/Home/dev/dnvminstall.ps1'))}"
+
+You must close your command-prompt and start a new one in order for the user-wide environment variables to take effect.
+
+You can see the currently installed DNX versions with `dnvm list`, which will display an empty set of installed runtimes.
+
+ C:\coreclr-demo>dnvm list
+
+Installing a .NET Core DNX
+==========================
+
+It's easy to install the latest .NET Core-based DNX, using the ```dnvm install``` command.
+
+ C:\coreclr-demo>dnvm install -r coreclr latest
+
+This will install the 32-bit version of .NET Core. If you want the 64-bit version, you can specify processor architecture.
+
+ C:\coreclr-demo>dnvm install -r coreclr -arch x64 latest
+
+You can see the currently installed DNX versions with `dnvm list`.
+
+ C:\coreclr-demo>dnvm list
+
+ Active Version Runtime Architecture Location
+ ------ ------- ------- ------------ --------
+ * 1.0.0-beta5-11596 coreclr x64 C:\Users\rlander\.dnx\runtimes
+ 1.0.0-beta5-11596 coreclr x86 C:\Users\rlander\.dnx\runtimes
+
+You can choose which of these DNXs you want to use with `dnvm use`, with similar arguments.
+
+ C:\coreclr-demo>dnvm use -r coreclr -arch x86 1.0.0-beta5-11596
+ Adding C:\Users\rlander\.dnx\runtimes\dnx-coreclr-win-x86.1.0.0-beta5-11596\bin
+ to process PATH
+
+ C:\coreclr-demo>dnvm list
+
+ Active Version Runtime Architecture Location
+ ------ ------- ------- ------------ --------
+ 1.0.0-beta5-11596 coreclr x64 C:\Users\rlander\.dnx\runtimes
+ * 1.0.0-beta5-11596 coreclr x86 C:\Users\rlander\.dnx\runtimes
+
+Write your App
+==============
+
+You need a Hello World application to run. You can write your own, if you'd like. Here's a very simple one:
+
+```csharp
+using System;
+
+public class Program
+{
+ public static void Main (string[] args)
+ {
+ Console.WriteLine("Hello, Windows");
+ Console.WriteLine("Love from CoreCLR.");
+ }
+}
+```
+
+Some people on the .NET Core team are partial to a demo console app on corefxlab repo which will print a picture for you. Download the [corefxlab demo](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/dotnet/corefxlab/master/demos/CoreClrConsoleApplications/HelloWorld/HelloWorld.cs) to ```C:\coreclr-demo```.
+
+You need a `project.json` that matches your app. Use this one. It will work for both of the apps provided/referenced above. Save the project.json beside your app.
+
+```
+{
+ "version": "1.0.0-*",
+ "dependencies": {
+ },
+ "frameworks" : {
+ "dnx451" : { },
+ "dnxcore50" : {
+ "dependencies": {
+ "System.Console": "4.0.0-beta-*"
+ }
+ }
+ }
+}
+```
+
+Run your App
+============
+
+You need to restore packages for your app, based on your project.json, with `dnu restore`.
+
+ C:\coreclr-demo>dnu restore
+
+You can run your app with the DNX command.
+
+ C:\coreclr-demo>dnx . run
+ Hello, Windows
+ Love from CoreCLR.
