-## Getting Started
+# Getting Started
+
+## Including Iceberg 
+
+### Downloads
+
+The latest version of Iceberg is [0.7.0-incubating](https://github.com/apache/incubator-iceberg/releases/tag/apache-iceberg-0.7.0-incubating).
+
+* [0.7.0-incubating source tar.gz](https://www.apache.org/dyn/closer.cgi/incubator/iceberg/apache-iceberg-0.7.0-incubating/apache-iceberg-0.7.0-incubating.tar.gz) -- [signature](https://dist.apache.org/repos/dist/release/incubator/iceberg/apache-iceberg-0.7.0-incubating/apache-iceberg-0.7.0-incubating.tar.gz.asc) -- [sha512](https://dist.apache.org/repos/dist/release/incubator/iceberg/apache-iceberg-0.7.0-incubating/apache-iceberg-0.7.0-incubating.tar.gz.sha512)
+* [0.7.0-incubating Spark 2.4 runtime Jar](https://search.maven.org/remotecontent?filepath=org/apache/iceberg/iceberg-spark-runtime/0.7.0-incubating/iceberg-spark-runtime-0.7.0-incubating.jar)
+
+One way to use Iceberg in Spark 2.4 is to download the runtime Jar and add it to the jars folder of your Spark install.
+
+Spark 2.4 is limited to reading and writing existing Iceberg tables. Use the [Iceberg API](../api) to create Iceberg tables.
+
+The recommended way is to include Iceberg's latest release using the `--packages` option:
+```sh
+spark-shell --packages org.apache.iceberg:iceberg-spark-runtime:0.7.0-incubating
+```
+
+You can also build Iceberg locally, and add the jar to Spark's classpath. This can be helpful to test unreleased features or while developing something new:
+
+```sh
+./gradlew assemble
+
+spark-shell --jars spark-runtime/build/libs/iceberg-spark-runtime-93990904.jar
+```
+
+Where you have to replace `93990904` with the git hash that you're using.
+
+### Gradle
+To add a dependency on Iceberg in Gradle, add the following to `build.gradle`:
+```
+dependencies {
+  compile 'org.apache.iceberg:iceberg-core:0.7.0-incubating'
+}
+```
+
+### Maven 
+If you'd like to try out Iceberg in a Maven project using the Spark Iceberg API, you can add the `iceberg-spark-runtime` dependency to your `pom.xml` file:
+```xml
+   <dependency>
+     <groupId>org.apache.iceberg</groupId>
+     <artifactId>iceberg-spark-runtime</artifactId>
+     <version>${iceberg.version}</version>
+   </dependency>
+```
+
+You'll also need `spark-sql` to read tables:
+```xml
+  <dependency> 
+    <groupId>org.apache.spark</groupId>
+    <artifactId>spark-sql_2.12</artifactId>
 
 Review comment:
   Actually we're using Scala 2.11 for Iceberg Spark building. Scala 2.11 and 2.12 are not binary compatible, so we should change to 2.11.
