+# Example Banjo app
+
+[Banjo](https://django-banjo.readthedocs.io) i
+
+Banjo is an abstraction over [Django](https://www.djangoproject.com/) which 
+provides a simplified subset of Django’s functionality, meant for beginners.
+
+A Banjo app consists of two files, `models.py` and `views.py`, within a directory
+called `app`. The app is run by calling `banjo`.
+
+## Installation
+
+If you want to run this app on your computer, first install [poetry](https://python-poetry.org/). 
+Then open Terminal and run the following:
+
+```
+$ cd ~/Desktop
+$ git clone https://git.makingwithcode.org/archive/banjo-demo.git
+$ cd banjo-demo
+$ poetry install
+$ poetry run banjo
+```
+
+Your Terminal is now serving the riddle app. Open `http://localhost:8000/api` to see 
+the automatically-generated API pages.
