+## Setting up our project
+
+So that you don't have to guess too much on the Cabal file, here's a minimal example file. You can run the main function provided in the following examples within the `Server` module without using the separate executable, but these are provided if you wanted to split that out. You can get a layout that is most of the way to what you want with `stack new servant-tutorial new-template`. Here's the Cabal file first:

+
+Then the `app/Main.hs` file, so you can produce a binary for running locally:
+
+```haskell
+-- app/Main.hs
+module Main where
+
+import Server (app)
+import Network.Wai.Handler.Warp (run)
+
+main :: IO ()
+main = run 8081 app
+```
+
+Note that this will run whatever app is named `app`. The final result of constructing a Servant server is a WAI app which can be run directly with Warp's runner.
+
+## Writing our Server
+
+The source for this tutorial section is a literate haskell file. To start our Server module, we
 need to have some language extensions and imports:
