+# SDK Usage Examples
+
+This is a simple example that demonstrates how to use and configure the OpenTelemetry SDK. 
+
+## Prerequisites
+* Java 1.8 or higher
+
+
+## Compile
+Compile with 
+```shell script
+./gradlew fatJar
+```
+
+## Run
+
+The following commands are used to run the examples.
+```shell script
+java -cp build/libs/opentelemetry-example-sdk-usage-all-0.3.0-SNAPSHOT.jar io.opentelemetry.sdk.example.ConfigureTraceExample
+```
+```shell script
