+### Getting Started With DigitalOcean
+
+After you run this project locally using [`Run Project` button](#with-run-project-button), deploying to [DigitalOcean](http://digitalocean.com/) is very simple.
+
+First, be sure you have SSH keys configured in your machine. If you don't have it yet (or if you aren't sure about it), just follow steps 1 and 2 of [this tutorial](https://help.github.com/articles/generating-ssh-keys/).
+
+Next, put your [personal access token](https://cloud.digitalocean.com/settings/applications) into a `.env` file:
+
+```bash
+$ cd path/to/the/project
+$ echo "DEPLOY_API_TOKEN=<YOUR-PERSONAL-ACCESS-TOKEN>" >> .env
+```
+
+Then, just run the following:
+
+```bash
+$ azk deploy
+```
+
+The `Run Project` button employs `azk`, a lightweight open source orchestration tool that will automatically isolate and configure the application's environment for you.
