2323To use these executables you need to add a new directory to your PATH. For me, the executables were placed in /home/evan/.cabal/bin which I appended to the end of my PATH variable in my .bashrc file. Cabal should tell you where your executables are located, so you can make a similar addition (see this tutorial if you are new to changing your PATH in [Unix/Linux](http://www.cyberciti.biz/faq/unix-linux-adding-path/)).

25+That is almost everything. Now, we will create a simple Elm project. The following commands will set-up a very basic project and start the Elm server.

33−Now start up "elm-server" in this directory and navigate to your [localhost](http://localhost:8000/). You should see a directory listing. Navigate to "main.elm" to see your first Elm program in action! Remember that "elm-mini.js" must be in the same directory as "main.elm".
33+The first two commands create a new directory and navigate into it. Then next command (wget) downloads the [elm-mini.js](https://raw.github.com/evancz/Elm/master/elm-mini.js) file which is the Elm runtime system. It is separate from the compiler for now. If you do not have wget, just follow [this link](https://raw.github.com/evancz/Elm/master/elm-mini.js) and download it directly. The 'echo' command places a simple program into 'main.elm'. The final command starts the Elm server at [localhost](http://localhost:8000/), allowing you to navigate to 'main.elm' and see your first program in action.
