+## Introduction
+
+This article will show you how to get started with the Google Gemini CLI product and integrate it into your shell of choice.  
+
+## Installation
+
+Simply follow the instructions on the [gemini-cli](https://github.com/google-gemini/gemini-cli) repo. I'm not much of a node.js user, so [fnm](https://github.com/Schniz/fnm) suited my needs to install this since it's more minimal.
+
+Commands are also below (you may need to `source` your shell of choice after performing the `fnm install` command):
+
+```bash
+sudo apt-get install curl unzip
+curl -o- https://fnm.vercel.app/install | bash
+fnm install 22
+node -v
+npm -v
+npm install -g @google/gemini-cli
+gemini
+```
+
+From here, you can pick a theme and then sign in using your personal google account. 
+
+## Usage
+
+TBD
