###Quick Start
<h4>Step 1</h4>
> Install the [StrongLoop Suite](#NEED_LINK)
<h4>Step 2</h4>
> Setup the **StrongLoop Suite Sample App**.
```sh
$ slc example
```
The command above takes care of cloning the sample app into a new directory
named `sls-sample-app` and installing all of its dependencies.
<h4>Step 3</h4>
> Run the sample application.
```sh
$ cd sls-sample-app
$ slc run app
```
<h4>Step 4</h4>
> Open the app in a browser.
The sample app should now be running at <http://localhost:3000>. The homepage of
the sample app lists several sample requests you can make against the LoopBack
REST API.

<h4>Step 5</h4>
> Explore the REST API
To browse all the sample app's REST APIs,
[open the API explorer](http://localhost:3000/explorer)
<a href="http://localhost:3000/explorer" class="status btn btn-primary">View the
API Explorer</a>
