# Getting Started
This guide will take you through starting a graph based on provided data.
## Prerequisites
This tutorial requires you to be connected to **local Cayley installation**. For more information on installing Cayley locally, see [Install Cayley](installation.md).
## Start Cayley
```bash
cayley http
```
You should see:
```text
Cayley version: 0.7.5 (dev snapshot)
using backend "memstore"
listening on 127.0.0.1:64210, web interface at http://127.0.0.1:64210
```
You can now open the web-interface on: [localhost:64210](http://localhost:64210/).
Cayley is configured by default to run in memory \(That's what `backend memstore` means\). To change the configuration see the documentation for [Configuration File](configuration.md) or run `cayley http --help`.
For more information about the UI see: [UI Overview](ui-overview.md)
## Run with sample data
### Download sample data
[Sample Data](https://github.com/cayleygraph/cayley/raw/master/data/30kmoviedata.nq.gz)
### Run Cayley
```bash
cayley http --load 30kmoviedata.nq.gz
```
## Query Data
Using the 30kmoviedata.nq dataset from above, let's walk through some simple queries:
### Query all vertices in the graph
To select all vertices in the graph call, limit to 5 first results. `g` and `V` are synonyms for `graph` and `Vertex` respectively, as they are quite common.
```javascript
g.V().getLimit(5);
```
### Match a property of a vertex
Find vertex with property "Humphrey Bogart"
```javascript
g.V()
.has("<name>", "Humphrey Bogart")
.all();
```
You may start to notice a pattern here: with Gizmo, the query lines tend to:
Start somewhere in the graph \| Follow a path \| Run the query with "all" or "getLimit"
### Match a complex path
Get the list of actors in the film
```javascript
g.V()
.has("<name>", "Casablanca")
.out("</film/film/starring>")
.out("</film/performance/actor>")
.out("<name>")
.all();
```
### Match
This is starting to get long. Let's use a Morphism, a pre-defined path stored in a variable, as our linkage
```javascript
var filmToActor = g
.Morphism()
.out("</film/film/starring>")
.out("</film/performance/actor>");
g.V()
.has("<name>", "Casablanca")
.follow(filmToActor)
.out("<name>")
.all();
```
