This Quickstart will show how any project can leverage iii and the iii SDK to unify their backend stack.

​
1. Create a new quickstart project

Make sure to install iii-cli and iii before proceeding:
curl -fsSL https://install.iii.dev/iii-cli/main/install.sh | sh
iii-cli update
The project setup will indicate that this project includes TypeScript, Python, and Rust languages. The README contains instructions for using Docker Compose in case not all of these runtimes are available on the system. 
iii-cli create --template quickstart --directory quickstart
cd quickstart

​
2. Run the Engine

iii --config iii-config.yaml

​
3. Open the project

Open the project and README in your IDE. You can use this shorthand from a second terminal window in the project directory: 
code . README.md

​
4. Continue with the README

The README will explain what the project is doing and how to start the services that will connect to the iii engine and use it for their communication. After completing the project, explore the worker.ts file from the project directory and then navigate back here to learn more about how iii works and can be used to streamline backend orchestration.

​
5. Try the iii Console

iii also comes with a web console that shows logs, traces, and runtime state for the iii-powered application. Start it in a new terminal window with: 
iii-cli console
Then open your web browser to: http://localhost:3113/ iii Console dashboard
