How to get started

You can install Stellar with `pip`.

```$ pip install stellar```

After that, you should go to your project folder and initialize Stellar settings. Stellar initialization wizard will help you with that.

```$ stellar init```

Stellar settings are saved as 'stellar.yaml' so you probably want to add that to your `.gitignore`.

```$ echo stellar.yaml >> .gitignore```

Done! :dancers:
