+
+💡 Tip: Use 'apify push' to deploy your Actor to the Apify platform
+📖 Docs: https://docs.apify.com/platform/actors/development
+🌱 Git repository initialized in 'warehouse-scraper'. You can now commit and push your Actor to Git.
+```
+
+Now that's a lot of output, but no worries, the important part is that we've successfully used a template to set up a new Actor project.
+
+A new directory `warehouse-scraper` has been created for us, with a variety of files and directories inside. The output instructs us to go to this new project directory, so let's do it:
+
+```
+cd "warehouse-scraper"
+```
+
+Now we can run commands which control this new project. We didn't change the template in any way though, so it won't scrape the Warehouse store for us yet.
+
+Out of the box, the template implements a sample Actor which walks through the [crawlee.dev](https://crawlee.dev/) website and downloads all of its pages. Such thing is called _crawling_, and Crawlee is a popular tool for crawling which this Actor internally uses. Let's see if it works for us:
+
+```
+apify run
+```
+
+If you see a flood of output mentioning something called `CheerioCrawler`, it means the template works and we can move on to editing its files so that it does what we want.
+
+```text
+...
+INFO  CheerioCrawler: Starting the crawler.
+INFO  CheerioCrawler: enqueueing new URLs
+INFO  CheerioCrawler: Crawlee · Build reliable crawlers. Fast. {"url":"https://crawlee.dev/"}
+...
+INFO  CheerioCrawler: Finished! Total 107 requests: 107 succeeded, 0 failed. {"terminal":true}
+```
+
+If you struggle to use the template wizard or to run the sample Actor, share this tutorial with [ChatGPT](https://chatgpt.com/), add any errors you've encountered, and see if it can help you debug the issue.
