+# mongo-c-driver-async Quick Start
+
+The following steps use vcpkg to install mongo-c-driver-async, build a test application, and connect to a local MongoDB server.
+
+Steps were run on Debian 12.
+
+Install vcpkg (if not already installed):
+```bash
+cd $HOME
+git clone https://github.com/microsoft/vcpkg.git
+VCPKG_ROOT=$HOME/vcpkg
+cd vcpkg
+./bootstrap-vcpkg.sh
+export PATH=$VCPKG_ROOT:$PATH
+```
+
+Install amongoc:
+```bash
+cd $HOME
+AMONGOC_INSTALL="$HOME/mongo-c-driver-async-0.1.0"
+git clone https://github.com/mongodb-labs/mongo-c-driver-async/
+cd mongo-c-driver-async
+cmake -B_build 
+cmake --build _build --parallel
+cmake --install _build --prefix "$AMONGOC_INSTALL"
+```
+
+Build this test application:
+```bash
+# Run from this directory.
+cmake -DCMAKE_TOOLCHAIN_FILE=$VCPKG_ROOT/scripts/buildsystems/vcpkg.cmake \
+      -DCMAKE_PREFIX_PATH=$AMONGOC_INSTALL \
+      -Bcmake-build
+cmake --build cmake-build --target hello-amongoc
+```
+
+Start a local MongoDB server:
+```bash
+cd $HOME
+# Get download links from: https://www.mongodb.com/try/download/community
+wget https://fastdl.mongodb.org/linux/mongodb-linux-x86_64-debian12-8.0.4.tgz
+tar -xf mongodb-linux-x86_64-debian12-8.0.4.tgz
+rm mongodb-linux-x86_64-debian12-8.0.4.tgz
+# Start server
+mkdir mongodb-data
+./mongodb-linux-x86_64-debian12-8.0.4/bin/mongod --dbpath ./mongodb-data
+```
+
+Run test application
+```bash
+./cmake-build/hello-amongoc
+```
+
+Expect to see `Successfully connected!`.
