### Before We Start
You are going to need some basic tools (that are normally installed by default). You will need `curl`, `wget`, `tar`, `ssh` and `ssh-keygen`.

By default Brooklyn loads configuration parameters from `~/.brooklyn/brooklyn.properties` and a service catalog from `~/.brooklyn/catalog.xml`.

+same for `id_dsa`), you will need to create keys for Brooklyn to use.
+If you're deploying to localhost, these should be added to your `authorized_keys` file.

### Closing Thoughts
+
This guide has shown two aspects of Brooklyn in action: policy driven management capability, and the service catalog/web interface. Additionally, we briefly explored Brooklyn's API.
It is worth noting that Brooklyn could be included as a library in your own applications (no command line required), or it could be used just as a management plane (without a service catalog).
During this guide we have been using Brooklyn's web interface, but Brooklyn's APIs are extensive and powerful. Brooklyn can be used with (controlled by and make data available to) your existing management UI. Brooklyn is intended to complement (not replace) your existing technologies and tooling.

### Next
The [Elastic Web Cluster Example]({{site.url}}/use/examples/webcluster/index.html) page details how to build the demo application from scratch. It shows how Brooklyn can complement your application with policy driven management, and how an application can be run without using the service catalog.
