+```
+
+Make a folder where you want to generate the Service:
+
+```bash
+mkdir service
+cd service
+```
+
+Run the generator from image to generate service:
+
+```bash
+docker run -it --rm -v $PWD:/home/generator/app generator-api
+```
+
+Run and attach interactive shell to the generator docker container to work from inside the running container:
+
