+* Compiling simple programs
+
+A Juvix file must declare a module whose name corresponds exactly to the name of the file. For example, a file =Hello.juvix= must declare a module =Hello=:
+#+begin_example
+-- Hello world example. This is a comment.
+module Hello;
+
+-- Import the standard library prelude, including the function 'printStringLn'
+open import Stdlib.Prelude;
+
+main : IO;
+main := printStringLn "Hello world!";
+
+end;
+#+end_example
+A file compiled to an executable must define the zero-argument function =main= of type =IO= which is evaluated when running the program.
+
+To compile the file =Hello.juvix= type =juvix compile Hello.juvix=. Typing =juvix compile --help= will list all options to the =compile= command.
+
+* Compilation targets
+
+Since version 0.3 Juvix supports three compilation targets. The targets are specified with the =-t= option: =juvix compile -t target file.juvix=.
+
+1. =native=. This is the default. Produces a native 64bit executable for your machine.
+2. =wasm32-wasi=. Produces a WebAssembly binary which uses the WASI runtime.
+3. =geb=. Produces a [[https://anoma.github.io/geb/][GEB]] input file.
+
+* Juvix projects
+
+A _Juvix project_ is a collection of Juvix modules inside one main
+project directory containing a =juvix.yaml= metadata file. The name of
+each module must coincide with the path of the file it is defined in,
+relative to the project's root directory. For example, if the file is
+=root/Data/List.juvix= then the module must be called =Data.List=,
+assuming =root= is the project's directory.
+
+To check that Juvix is correctly detecting your project's root, you
+can run the command =juvix dev root File.juvix=.
