@@ -84,6 +85,42 @@ when manually creating a console, remember that the user's terminal
 might not be able to use it, so unless you're creating an IAnsiConsole 
 for testing, always use `ColorSystemSupport.Detect` and `AnsiSupport.Detect`._
 
+## Running examples
+
+To see Spectre.Console in action, install the 
+[dotnet-example](https://github.com/patriksvensson/dotnet-example)
+global tool.
+
+```
+> dotnet tool install -g dotnet-example
+```
+
+Now you can list available examples in this repository:

+```
+> dotnet example
+
+Examples
+
+Colors    Demonstrates how to use colors in the console.
+Grid      Demonstrates how to render grids in a console.
+Panel     Demonstrates how to render items in panels.
+Table     Demonstrates how to render tables in a console.
+```
+
+And to run an example:
+
+```
+> dotnet example table
+┌──────────┬──────────┬────────┐
+│ Foo      │ Bar      │ Baz    │
+├──────────┼──────────┼────────┤
+│ Hello    │ World!   │        │
