 Getting Started
 ---
 
-To get started you need to clone the oasp4j repository containing the server part, build and deploy it on a Tomcat server. To get started with the client part you need to clone the oasp4js repository, build the client and start it.
+To get started you need to clone both the `oasp4j` and `oasp4js` repositories containing the server and the client part respectively. Each of them is to be built and started to talk to each other it. There are two ways to get the sample application working: eithter by getting the [oasp IDE](https://github.com/oasp/oasp4j/wiki/oasp-ide-setup) and running it from there or setting up the IDE manually.

+If you want to install full OASP IDE and get both server and client code please follow steps described in [oasp IDE setup](https://github.com/oasp/oasp4j/wiki/oasp-ide-setup). The `oasp IDE` already contains software (Node.js, Gulp, Bower, Maven) required to run the sample application; only Git has to be additionally installed.

+If the [oasp IDE setup](https://github.com/oasp/oasp4j/wiki/oasp-ide-setup) is not used, additional software has to be installed manually. You need a Git client to clone the repositories and the Node.js platform (including its package manager - npm) which allows Gulp and Bower to install the dependencies and build the application. [Here](https://github.com/oasp/oasp4js/wiki/Prerequisites) you can learn how to install the prerequisites. 
+Also, for the server part you need Maven (tested against the version: 3.3.9) to be installed. For installation details please refer to the [Maven's](http://maven.apache.org/download.cgi) home page.
