+# Quick Start
+
+If you've previously installed gulp globally, run `npm rm --global gulp` before following these instructions. For more information, read this [Sip][sip-article].
+
+### Check for node, npm, and npx
+```sh
+node --version
+```
+![Output: v8.11.1][img-node-version-command]
+```sh
+npm --version
+```
+![Output: 5.6.0][img-npm-version-command]
+```sh
+npx --version
+```
+![Output: 9.7.1][img-npx-version-command]
+
+If they are not installed, follow the instructions [here][node-install].
+
+### Install the gulp command line utility
+```sh
+npm install --global gulp-cli
+```
+
+
+### Create a project directory and navigate into it
+```sh
+npx mkdirp my-project
+```
+```sh
+cd my-project
+```
+
+### Create a package.json file in your project directory
+```sh
+npm init
+```
+
+This will guide you through giving your project a name, version, description, etc.
+
+### Install the gulp package in your devDependencies
+```sh
+npm install --save-dev gulp
+```
+
+### Verify your gulp versions
+```sh
+gulp --version
+```
+![Output: CLI version 2.0.1 & Local version 4.0.0][img-gulp-version-command]
+
+### Create a gulpfile
+Using your text editor, create a file named gulpfile.js in your project root with these contents:
+```js
+function defaultTask(done) {
+  // place code for your default task here
+  done();
+}
+
+exports.default = defaultTask
+```
+
+### Test it
+Run the gulp command in your project directory:
+```sh
+gulp
+```
+To run multiple tasks, you can use `gulp <task> <othertask>`.
+
+### Result
+The default task will run and do nothing.
