Opening sequence in node or browser?

[compsocial]

I'm just getting started and I apologize for the beginner's question: What sequence of steps is necessary to get a functional ipfs instance running in Node and/or (but hopefully and) the browser? I can do the following:

var IPFS = require('ipfs')
var node = new IPFS()

as in README, but after that ... I'm not sure. I've been reading through the Orbit code, but from what I can tell it's connecting to a daemon running locally.

Can someone share a set of initialization steps ending with adding or getting a file? Would be nice to add that to the guide.

In Node at least it looks like you can crib some initialization from https://github.com/ipfs/js-ipfs/blob/c8dbf6ba16017103b29589bb6d4173f954b4325f/src/http-api/index.js where an IPFS node gets set up as part of the HTTP API setup.
