+# Installation
+
+## Build from source
+
+To build and run Ragbits from the source code:
+
+1. Requirements: [**uv**](https://docs.astral.sh/uv/getting-started/installation/) & [**python**](https://docs.astral.sh/uv/guides/install-python/) 3.10 or higher
+2. Install dependencies and run venv in editable mode:
+
+```bash
+$ source ./setup_dev_env.sh
+```
+
+## Install pre-commit
+
+To ensure code quality we use pre-commit hook with several checks. Setup it by:
+
+```
+pre-commit install
+```
+
+All updated files will be reformatted and linted before the commit.
+
+To reformat and lint all files in the project, use:
+
+`pre-commit run --all-files`
+
+The used linters are configured in `.pre-commit-config.yaml`. You can use `pre-commit autoupdate` to bump tools to the latest versions.

+
+## Installation
+
+To use the complete Ragbits stack, install the `ragbits` package:
+
+```sh
+pip install ragbits
+```
+
+Alternatively, you can use individual components of the stack by installing their respective packages: `ragbits-core`, `ragbits-document-search`, `ragbits-cli`.
+
+## Quickstart
+
+First, create a prompt and a model for the data used in the prompt:
+
+```python
+from pydantic import BaseModel
+from ragbits.core.prompt import Prompt
+
+class Dog(BaseModel):
+    breed: str
+    age: int
+    temperament: str
+
+class DogNamePrompt(Prompt[Dog, str]):
+    system_prompt = """
+    You are a dog name generator. You come up with funny names for dogs given the dog details.
+    """
+
+    user_prompt = """
+    The dog is a {breed} breed, {age} years old, and has a {temperament} temperament.
+    """
 ```
 
-## Install pre-commit
+Next, create an instance of the LLM and the prompt:
 
-To ensure code quality we use pre-commit hook with several checks. Setup it by:
+```python
+from ragbits.core.llms.litellm import LiteLLM
 
+llm = LiteLLM("gpt-4o")
+example_dog = Dog(breed="Golden Retriever", age=3, temperament="friendly")
+prompt = DogNamePrompt(example_dog)
 ```
-pre-commit install
+
+Finally, generate a response from the LLM using the prompt:
+
+```python
+response = await llm.generate(prompt)
+print(f"Generated dog name: {response}")
 ```
 
-All updated files will be reformatted and linted before the commit.
+<!--
+TODO:
+Add links to quickstart guides for individual packages, demonstrating how to extend this with their functionality.
+Add a link to the full tutorial.
