+
+[Arvados](https://arvados.org) is an open source platform for
+managing, processing, and sharing genomic and other large scientific
+and biomedical data. With Arvados, bioinformaticians run and scale
+compute-intensive workflows, developers create biomedical
+applications, and IT administrators manage large compute and storage
+resources.
+
+The key components of Arvados are:
+
+* *Keep*: Keep is the Arvados storage system for managing and storing large
+collections of files. Keep combines content addressing and a
+distributed storage architecture resulting in both high reliability
+and high throughput. Every file stored in Keep can be accurately
+verified every time it is retrieved. Keep supports the creation of
+collections as a flexible way to define data sets without having to
+re-organize or needlessly copy data. Keep works on a wide range of
+underlying filesystems and object stores.
+
+* *Crunch*: Crunch is the orchestration system for running [Common Workflow Language](https://www.commonwl.org) workflows. It is
+designed to maintain data provenance and workflow
+reproducibility. Crunch automatically tracks data inputs and outputs
+through Keep and executes workflow processes in Docker containers. In
+a cloud environment, Crunch optimizes costs by scaling compute on demand.
+
+* *Workbench*: The Workbench web application allows users to interactively access
+Arvados functionality. It is especially helpful for querying and
+browsing data, visualizing provenance, and tracking the progress of
+workflows.
+
+* *Command Line tools*: The command line interface (CLI) provides convenient access to Arvados
+functionality in the Arvados platform from the command line.
-### Run time configuration
-The app will fetch runtime configuration when starting. By default it will try to fetch `/config.json`. You can customize this url using build time configuration.
+* *API and SDKs*: Arvados is designed to be integrated with existing infrastructure. All
+the services in Arvados are accessed through a RESTful API. SDKs are
+available for Python, Go, R, Perl, Ruby, and Java.
+
+# Quick start
+
+To try out Arvados on your local workstation, you can use Arvbox, which
+provides Arvados components pre-installed in a Docker container (requires
+Docker 1.9+). After cloning the Arvados git repository:
-Currently this configuration schema is supported:
```
-{
- "API_HOST": "string",
- "VOCABULARY_URL": "string",
- "FILE_VIEWERS_CONFIG_URL": "string",
-}
+$ cd arvados/tools/arvbox/bin
+$ ./arvbox start localdemo
```
-#### API_HOST
+In this mode you will only be able to connect to Arvbox from the same host. To
+configure Arvbox to be accessible over a network and for other options see
+http://doc.arvados.org/install/arvbox.html for details.

+The [Arvados developement channel](https://gitter.im/arvados/development)
+channel at [gitter.im](https://gitter.im) is used to coordinate development.
-The `REACT_APP_ARVADOS_API_HOST` environment variable can be used to set the default URL if the run time configuration is unreachable.
+The [Arvados user mailing list](http://lists.arvados.org/mailman/listinfo/arvados)
+is used to announce new versions and other news.
-#### VOCABULARY_URL
-Local path, or any URL that allows cross-origin requests. See
-[Vocabulary JSON file example](public/vocabulary-example.json).
+All participants are expected to abide by the [Arvados Code of Conduct](CODE_OF_CONDUCT.md).
-To use the URL defined in the Arvados cluster configuration, remove the entire `VOCABULARY_URL` entry from the runtime configuration. Found in `/config.json` by default.
