+# Running the cdktf-go example
+
+## Install dependencies
+1. Install an IDE like VSCode (https://code.visualstudio.com/). Then
+2. Install golang, terraform, cdktf:
+
+On MacOS:
+```
+brew install go cdktf terraform
+```
+
+On Windows / Mac / Linux with vagrant:
+```
+git clone https://github.com/wardviaene/devops-box
+cd devops-box
+vagrant up
+vagrant ssh
+/vagrant/scripts/install_cdktf.sh # kicks of install of golang / npm / cdktf
+```
+
+On Windows, install a package manager (https://chocolatey.org/), then:
+```
+choco install nodejs
+npm install --global cdktf-cli@latest
+```
+
+# Download & init the provider
+
+```
+cdktf get 
+go mod tidy
+```
+
+Note: can take a some time to finish
+
+# Provision
+
+This provisions the infrastructure on AWS.
+
+```
+cdktf deploy
+```
+
+# Initialize new project
+If you'd like to initialize your own project, you can use this command (I used the same command to initialize this project):
+```
+cdktf init --template="go" --local
+```
