## 2. Demo app Installation

Now that we have a site in Gigya, we can include it in a web project. To do it:

1. [Download](https://github.com/gigya/cdc-starter-kit/releases) or clone the project into your web folder.

```
git clone https://github.com/gigya/cdc-starter-kit my-cdc-demo-app
```

1. Look for the line below and change the placeholder **__API_KEY__** inside ```index.html``` and  ```edit-profile.html``` files, commenting or removing the example provided by default.


```html
<script type="text/javascript" lang="javascript" src="https://cdns.gigya.com/js/gigya.js?apikey=__API_KEY__"></script>
```


1. Navigate to ```http://localhost/my-cdc-demo-app```

1. Enjoy!

## 3. Next steps

Once you have the site working, it's time to go deeper reading the [Basic Guide](basic.md), where you will be able to adapt the site to your needs.
