+# Example project
+
+To help you get started with using Better Stack in your Rack projects, we have prepared a simple program that showcases the usage of Logtail logger.
+
+## Download and install the example project
+
+You can download the [example project](https://github.com/logtail/logtail-ruby-rack/tree/main/example-project) from GitHub directly or you can clone it to a select directory. Make sure you are in the projects directory and run the following command:
+
+```bash
+bundle install
+```
+
+This will install all dependencies listed in the `Gemfile.lock` file.
+
+Then replace `<SOURCE_TOKEN>` in `config.ru` with your actual source token which you can find by going to [Better Stack Logs](https://logs.betterstack.com/dashboard) -> Source -> Edit.
+
+```ruby
+http_io_device = Logtail::LogDevices::HTTP.new("<YOUR_ACTUAL_SOURCE_TOKEN>")
+```
+
+## Run the example project
+
+To run the example application, run the following command:
+
+```bash
+rackup
+```
+
+This will start a local server and you visit [http://127.0.0.1:9292](http://127.0.0.1:9292) in your browser.
+
+You should see the following output:
+
+```bash
+All done!
+Log into your Logtail account to check your logs.
+```
+
+This will create a total of 4 different logs. You can review these logs in Better Stack.
+
+You can visit any path on the server to see the request path being logged in context. Visit [/error](http://127.0.0.1:9292) to see an example exception being logged.
