+You should now be able to run the [examples](examples) by navigating to one of the directories and doing `pnpm dev`. For example, to run `svelte-kit-demo` enter the following commands:
+
+```bash
+cd examples/svelte-kit-demo
+pnpm dev
+```
 
 Run `pnpm dev` inside the `packages/kit` directory to continually rebuild `@sveltejs/kit` as you make changes to SvelteKit. Restarting the example/test apps will cause the newly built version to be used.
