# Getting Started with Fluence

This example demonstrates how to use marine services via JS client. It will work both in frontend and backend environments. The wasm file from the example has been taken from [this](https://github.com/fluencelabs/examples/tree/main/marine-examples/greeting) example. 

> To learn how to build marine services, peek at `marine-examples` folder in this repository or in Marine [docs](https://fluence.dev/docs/marine-book/introduction).

> To run this example you need `@latest` version of Fluence CLI. You can find installation guide [here](https://github.com/fluencelabs/cli).
