mkdir ~/ubisys-test
cd ~/ubisys-test

and invoke

tin init

and then start [thing-it-node] via

tin run

Install the [thing-it] Mobile App from the Apple Appstore or Google Play and set it up to connect to [thing-it-node] locally as described here or just connect your browser under http://localhost:3001.
