+<p>This is a guide that explains how to install and run Usergrid using
+stock Tomcat and Cassandra on a single computer.</p>
+<p>NOTE: running Cassandra on a single computer is something you should do
+ONLY for testing purposes. You don&#8217;t want to run one node in production
+even just to start out. To get the benefit of Cassandra&#8217;s architecture,
+which is designed to support linear scalability. You should be running a
+Cassandra cluster with at least three nodes.</p>

+<p>Usergrid-core contains the persistence layer and shared utilities for
+powering the Usergrid service. The services layer is contained in
+usergrid-services and exposes a higher-level API that&#8217;s used by the
+usergrid-rest web services tier.</p>
+<p>You can run Usergrid from the command-line from the jar in the
+usergrid/standalone project:</p>
+<div class="highlight-python"><div class="highlight"><pre>cd launcher; java -jar target/usergrid-launcher-*.jar
+</pre></div>
+</div>
+<p>After startup, your instance will be available on localhost, port 8080.
+To check it’s running properly, you can try loading our status page:</p>
+<div class="highlight-python"><div class="highlight"><pre>curl http://localhost:8080/status
+</pre></div>
+</div>
+<p>You can also run it as a webapp in Tomcat, by deploying the ROOT.war
+file generated in the usergrid/rest project.</p>

+<h2>Getting Started with the HTTP API<a class="headerlink" href="#getting-started-with-the-http-api" title="Permalink to this headline">¶</a></h2>
+<p>Start by creating an Organization. It’s the top-level structure in
+Usergrid: all Apps and Administrators must belong to an Organization.
+Here’s how you create one:</p>
+<div class="highlight-python"><div class="highlight"><pre>curl -X POST  \
+     -d &#39;organization=myfirstorg&amp;username=myadmin&amp;name=Admin&amp;email=admin@example.com&amp;password=password&#39; \
+     http://localhost:8080/management/organizations
+</pre></div>
+</div>
+<p>You can see that creating an Organization creates an Administrator in
+the process. Let’s authenticate as him:</p>
+<div class="highlight-python"><div class="highlight"><pre>curl &#39;http://localhost:8080/management/token?grant_type=password&amp;username=myadmin&amp;password=password&#39;
+</pre></div>
+</div>
+<p>This will return an access_token. We’ll use this to authenticate the
+next two calls. Next, let’s create an Application:</p>
+<div class="highlight-python"><div class="highlight"><pre>curl -H &quot;Authorization: Bearer [the management token from above]&quot; \
+     -H &quot;Content-Type: application/json&quot; \
+     -X POST -d &#39;{ &quot;name&quot;:&quot;myapp&quot; }&#39; \
+     http://localhost:8080/management/orgs/myfirstorg/apps
+</pre></div>
+</div>
+<p>… And a User for the Application:</p>
+<div class="highlight-python"><div class="highlight"><pre>curl -H &quot;Authorization: Bearer [the management token from above]&quot; \
+     -X POST &quot;http://localhost:8080/myfirstorg/myapp/users&quot; \

+<h1>Async vs. sync calls<a class="headerlink" href="#async-vs-sync-calls" title="Permalink to this headline">¶</a></h1>
+<p>The Usergrid SDKs work by making RESTful API calls from your application
+to the API. In some cases, both synchronous and asynchronous calls are
+supported for most methods, as in the case of the Usergrid Android SDK,
+while in others only asynchronous calls are supported, as in the
+Usergrid JavaScript SDK. The following is a brief explanation of
+synchronous vs. asynchronous API calls.</p>
+<div class="section" id="synchronous">
+<h2>Synchronous<a class="headerlink" href="#synchronous" title="Permalink to this headline">¶</a></h2>
+<p>If an API call is synchronous, it means that code execution will block
+(or wait) for the API call to return before continuing. This means that
+until a response is returned by the API, your application will not
+execute any further, which could be perceived by the user as latency or
+performance lag in your app. Making an API call synchronously can be
+beneficial, however, if there if code in your app that will only execute
+properly once the API response is received.</p>
+</div>
+<div class="section" id="asynchronous">
+<h2>Asynchronous<a class="headerlink" href="#asynchronous" title="Permalink to this headline">¶</a></h2>
+<p>Asynchronous calls do not block (or wait) for the API call to return
+from the server. Execution continues on in your program, and when the
+call returns from the server, a &#8220;callback&#8221; function is executed. For
+example, in the following code using the Usergrid JavScript SDK, the
+function called dogCreateCallback will be called when the create dog API
+call returns from the server. Meanwhile, execution will continue:</p>
+<div class="highlight-python"><div class="highlight"><pre>function dogCreateCallback(err, dog) {
+    alert(&#39;I will probably be called second&#39;);
+    if (err) {
+        //Error - Dog not created
+    } else {
+        //Success - Dog was created
+
+    }
+}
+
+client.createEntity({type:&#39;dogs&#39;}, dogCreateCallback);
+alert(&#39;I will probably be called first&#39;);
+</pre></div>
+</div>
+<p>The result of this is that we cannot guarantee the order of the two
+alert statements. Most likely, the alert right after the createEntity
+function call will be called first since the API call will take a second
+or so to complete.</p>
+<p>The important point is that program execution will continue, and
+asynchronously, the callback function will be called once program
+execution completes.</p>
