+1. Click the [demo
+   link](https://kelda.io/preview-env/?repo=/~https://github.com/accurics/terrascan.git&composeFiles=deploy/docker-compose.yml&service=terrascan&port=9010)
+   to boot this repo in the Blimp cloud.
+
+1. Once the sandbox is booted, get its public URL by clicking "Connect to your
+   sandbox".
+
+   The page will 404, but that's OK because we just need the domain name to
+   create our URL that we'll hit with `curl`.
+
+1. Run the following command in your terminal to scan a simple Terraform file.
+   Make sure to replace `<YOUR PUBLIC URL>` with the URL from the previous
+   step.
+
+   ```
+   curl -i -F "file=@-" https://<YOUR PUBLIC URL>/v1/terraform/v12/aws/local/file/scan << EOF
+   variable "my-variable" {
+     default = "default"
+     type    = string
+   }
+   EOF
+   ```
+
+   The full URL will look something like `https://a98c0197112b7a4a96b72ea21ac0802b.blimp.dev/v1/terraform/v12/aws/local/file/scan`.
+
+   The command will output something like this:
+   ```
+   {
+     "ResourceConfig": {},
+     "Violations": {
+       "results": {
+         "violations": [],
