+# BASIC DEMO
+## Introduction
+This is a minimal Hello World application for the Flipper Zero using the Viewport.  The goal of this project is to use it as a starting point for other applications.
+
+
+## Installation Directions
+This project is intended to be overlayed on top of an existing firmware repo.
+- Clone, Build & Deploy an existing flipper zero firmware repo.  See this [tutorial](/firmware/updating/README.md) for updating firmware.
+- Copy the "minimal_viewport" [folder](..) to the \applications\plugins\minimal_viewport folder in your firmware.
+- Build & deploy the firmware.  See this [tutorial](/firmware/updating/README.md) for updating firmware.
+- NOTE: You can also extract the basic_demo.FAP from resources.tar file and use qFlipper to copy the file to the SD Card/apps/Misc folder.
+
+
+## Running the updated firmware
+These directions assume you are starting at the flipper desktop.  If not, please press the back button until you are at the desktop.
+
+- Press the OK button on the flipper to pull up the main menu.
+- Choose "Applications" from the menu.
+- Choose "Misc" from the sub-menu.
+- Choose "Minimal Viewport Demo"
+
+- The flipper should say "Hello World!"
+
+- Press the BACK button to exit.
+
+
+## How it works
+- application.fam
+  - specifies the name of our application.
+  - specifies the entry point for our application.
+  - specifies we use the GUI.
+  - specifies our icon is the minimal_viewport.png file.
+  - specifies our application can be found in the "Misc" category.
+
+- minimal_viewport.png
+  - The icon for our application.
+
+- minimal_viewport_app.c
+  - We #include the libraries we referece.
