+Ready to spin up your first PHP development environment with **Loom Spinner CLI**?
+Follow these steps to get started quickly!
+
+## 1. Prerequisites
+
+Before you launch your environment, ensure you have:
+- Installed [Loom Spinner CLI](Installation)
+- Docker Engine running on your machine
+
+If Docker is not running, `loom` commands will display an error.
+
+## 2. Create or Choose Your PHP Project
+
+Make sure you have a PHP project directory—or create a fresh one. You can use Loom Spinner in both existing and new projects.
+
+```shell
+cd /path/to/my-project
+```
+
+## 3. Start the Environment
+
+To launch a local development environment for your project, use:
+
+```shell
+loom spin:up my-project .
+```
+
+- `my-project` is the name you'll use for this environment.
+- `.` means "use the current directory as the project root".
+
+Loom Spinner will set up Docker containers with PHP, Nginx, Node, SQLite, and more, based on your configuration and project needs.
+
+## 4. Access Your Project
+
+Once the containers are running:
+- Your code inside the project directory is available inside the container at `/data/var/www`
+- Your project's `public` directory will be served via Nginx at `http://localhost:<nginx-port>`
+
+You can check which port is being used by running:
+
+```shell
+docker ps
+```
+
+or viewing Docker Desktop.
+
+## 5. Manage Your Environment
+
+- **Stop the environment:**
+  ```shell
+  loom spin:stop my-project
+  ```
+- **Start it again:**
+  ```shell
+  loom spin:start my-project
+  ```
+- **Destroy the environment:**
+  ```shell
+  loom spin:down my-project
+  ```
+  (This will remove the containers created for the environment, don't worry this won't )
+
+## 6. Next Steps
+
+Loom Spinner is highly configurable. You can customize your environment by passing options to the command or by adding 
+a `spinner.yaml` file to your project root. Check out the [Configuration](Configuration) page for details.
