+## Using the scala-cli command
+
+Create a file named `hello.scala` with following code:
+```scala
+@main
+def hello(): Unit =
+  println("Hello, World!")
+```
+
+You can define a method with `def` keyword and mark it as a "main" method with the `@main` annotation, designating it as
+the entry point in program execution. The method's type is `Unit`, which means it does not return a value. `Unit`
+can be thought of as an analogue to `void` keyword found in other languages. The `println` method will print the `"Hello World!"`
+string to standard output.
+
+To run the program, execute `scala-cli run hello.scala` command. The file will be compiled and executed, with console output
+similar to following:
+```
+$ scala-cli run hello.scala             
+Compiling project (Scala 3.4.2, JVM (20))
+Compiled project (Scala 3.4.2, JVM (20))
+Hello, World!
+```
+
+### Handling command-line arguments
+
+Let's rewrite the `hello.scala` file so that the program greets the person running it.
+```scala
+@main
+def hello(name: String): Unit =
+  println(s"Hello, $name!")
+```
+
+The `name` argument is expected to be provided when executing the program and if it's not found, the execution will fail.
+The `println` method receives an interpolated string, as indicated by the `s` letter preceding its content. `$name` will be substituted by
+the content of `name` argument.
+
+To pass the arguments when executing the program, put them after `--`:
+```
+$ scala-cli run hello.scala -- Gabriel          
+Compiling project (Scala 3.4.2, JVM (20))
+Compiled project (Scala 3.4.2, JVM (20))
+Hello, Gabriel!
+```
+
+You can read more about [main methods](/scala3/book/methods-main-methods.html) and [string interpolation]((/scala3/book/string-interpolation.html)) in the Scala Book.
+
+### Adding dependencies
+
+Let's write a program that will count the files and directories present in its working directory. While in Scala you have full access to Java API for
+filesystem interaction, the [os-lib](https://github.com/com-lihaoyi/os-lib) library by Li Haoyi is much more convenient to use. A dependency on the library can
+be added with `//> using` directive. Put the following code in `counter.scala`.
+```scala
+//> using dep "com.lihaoyi::os-lib:0.10.7"
+
+@main
+def countFiles(): Unit =
+    val paths = os.list(os.pwd)
+    println(paths.length)
+```
+
+In the code above, the `os.pwd` returns current working directory, which then is passed to `os.list`, which returns a sequence
+of paths directly within the directory passed as argument. `val` is used to declare an immutable value, in this example storing the
+sequence of paths.
+
+Execute the program. The dependency will be automatically downloaded. The execution should result in a similar output:
+```
+$ scala-cli run counter.scala       
+Compiling project (Scala 3.4.2, JVM (20))
+Compiled project (Scala 3.4.2, JVM (20))
+4
+```
+The printed number should be 4: `hello.scala`, `counter.scala` and two hidden directories created automatically when a program is executed:
+`.bsp` containing information about project used by IDEs, and `.scala-build` containing the results of compilation.
+
+As it turns out, the `os-lib` library is part of Scala Toolkit, a collection of libraries recommended for tasks like testing,
+operating system interaction or handling JSONs. You can read more about libraries included in the toolkit [here](/toolkit/introduction.html).
+To include the toolkit libraries, use `//> using toolkit default` directive:
+```scala
+//> using toolkit default
+
+@main
+def countFiles(): Unit =
+    val paths = os.list(os.pwd)
+    println(paths.length)
+```
+
+This program is identical to the one above with the only difference being that other toolkit libraries will also be available to use
+and their downloaded versions, instead of being specified by hand, will be the newest ones included in toolkit.
+
+### Using scala-cli REPL
+
+You can execute code interactively using REPL provided by `scala-cli` command. Execute `scala-cli` in console without any arguments.
+```
+$ scala-cli
+Welcome to Scala 3.4.2 (20-ea, Java OpenJDK 64-Bit Server VM).
+Type in expressions for evaluation. Or try :help.
+
+scala> 
+```
+
+Write a line of code to be executed and press enter.
+```
+scala> println("Hello, World!")
+Hello, World!
+
+scala> 
+```
+
+The result will be printed immediately after executing the line. You can declare values:
+```
+scala> val i = 1
+val i: Int = 1
+
+scala> 
+```
+
+A new value of type `Int` has been created. If you provide an expression that can be evaluated, its result will be stored in an automatically created value.
+```
+scala> i + 3
+val res0: Int = 4
+
+scala> 
+```
+You can exit the REPL with `:exit`.
+
+### Next steps
+
+Now that you have tasted a little bit of Scala, you can either explore the language itself, or learn how to set up a project using the
+sbt and an IDE using the tutorials below. If you want to familiarize yourself with the language more, consider checking out:
+
+* [The Scala Book](/scala3/book/introduction.html) (see the Scala 2 version [here](/overviews/scala-book/introduction.html)), which provides a set of short lessons introducing Scala’s main features.
+* [The Tour of Scala](/tour/tour-of-scala.html) for bite-sized introductions to Scala's features.
+* [Learning Resources](/learn.html), which includes online interactive tutorials and courses.
+* [Our list of some popular Scala books](/books.html).
+* [The migration guide](/scala3/guides/migration/compatibility-intro.html) helps you to migrate your existing Scala 2 code base to Scala 3.
+
+The [Scala CLI documentation](https://scala-cli.virtuslab.org/) describes the available sub-commands and how to integrate the tool with an IDE of choice.
