+Running GoBGP
+=============
+
+This page explains how to run GoBGP. This example sets up GoBGP to
+connect with two eBGP peers for IPv4 routes. Even if you are
+interested in other GoBGP use cases (such as IPv6 routes, EVPN, and
+Route Server), this example gives you the basics of GoBGP usage.
+
+Prerequisites
+=============
+
+You need to install [Go 1.3 or later](http://golang.org/doc/install). After installing Go, make sure that `$GOPATH/bin` in included in your `$PATH`.
+
+Installing GoBGP
+================
+
+```bash
+$ go get github.com/osrg/gobgp/gobgpd
+$ go get github.com/osrg/gobgp/gobgp
+```
+
+Finished. No dependency hell (library, package, etc) thanks to Go.
+The first command installs GoBGP daemon (speaking BGP protocol). The
+second one installs GoBGP CLI. The CLI isn't a must but handy whey you
+play with GoBGP.
+
+In addition, if you use Bash shell, you can enjoy CLI's tab completion:
+
+```bash
+$ wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/osrg/gobgp/master/tools/completion/gobgp-completion.bash
+$ source gobgp-completion.bash
+```
+
+Configuration
+=============
+
+Currently, GoBGP can be configured via a configuration file. This example
+uses the following very simple configuration file, `gobgpd.conf`:
+
+```
+$ cat gobgpd.conf
+[Global]
+ As = 64512
+ RouterId = "192.168.255.1"
+[[NeighborList]]
+ NeighborAddress = "10.0.255.1"
+ PeerAs = 65001
+[[NeighborList]]
+ NeighborAddress = "10.0.255.2"
+ PeerAs = 65002
+```
+
+Starting GoBGP
+==============
+Let's start gobgpd:
+
+```
+$ sudo -E gobgpd -f gobgpd.conf
+{"level":"info","msg":"Peer 10.0.255.1 is added","time":"2015-04-06T20:32:28+09:00"}
+{"level":"info","msg":"Peer 10.0.255.2 is added","time":"2015-04-06T20:32:28+09:00"}
+```
+
+Let's show the information of all the peers.
+
+```
+$ gobgp show neighbors
+Peer AS Up/Down State |#Advertised Received Accepted
+10.0.255.1 65001 00:00:14 Establ | 1 5 5
+10.0.255.2 65002 00:00:14 Establ | 5 2 2
+```
+
+Want to the details of a particular peer?
+
+```
+$ gobgp show neighbor 10.0.255.1
+BGP neighbor is 10.0.255.1, remote AS 65001
+ BGP version 4, remote router ID 192.168.0.1
+ BGP state = BGP_FSM_ESTABLISHED, up for 00:01:49
+ BGP OutQ = 0, Flops = 0
+ Neighbor capabilities:
+ MULTIPROTOCOL: advertised and received
+ ROUTE_REFRESH: advertised and received
+ FOUR_OCTET_AS_NUMBER: advertised and received
+ ROUTE_REFRESH_CISCO: received
+ Message statistics:
+ Sent Rcvd
+ Opens: 2 1
+ Notifications: 0 0
+ Updates: 1 1
+ Keepalives: 4 5
+ Route Refesh: 0 0
+ Discarded: 0 0
+ Total: 7 7
+```
+
+Note that the tab completion works for both peer names and commands.
+
+Check out the global table.
