+
+## What you will learn
+After this, you will:
+- [x] Know how to connect to a Verus node locally over rpc
+
+## Prerequisites: a locallly running Verus Node
+
+!!! danger
+This is only for illustrative purposes. Do not use this in production scenarios. 
+!!!
+
+To interact with the Verus Protocol you will need to have access to a running Verus Node. A quick way to do that is to install the Verus Desktop app on your machine, which installs the verus daemon under the covers. Once installed, add the test chain to your Wallet and let it sync. Visit the [Verus Wiki](https://wiki.verus.io/#!index.md) for how to do this. 
+
+### Authorisation using rpcuser and rpcpassword
+
+Locate the VRSC.conf file by opening **Show Verus data folder** under the Help menu in the Verus Desktop gui. Open the VRSC.conf file as you will need the rpcuser and rpcpassword values. 
+
+!!!warning
+Securing your Verus Node is critically important. Refer to the Verus Wiki on good practices. 
+!!!
+
+### Web App
+For simplicity, we will create a simple node web app using Express that will send the `getinfo` command to the Verus Node, which will confirm we have a working Verus node able to interact with. We will use Visual Code manage this quick tutorial.  
+
+Open Visual Studio Code and open a new folder to work in. Drop into your VS Code terminal:
+
+```bash
+mkdir verusnode-express-app
+cd verusnode-express-app
+node install
+touch app.js
+```
+
+Now oepn index.html and copy this into it, note to replace your rpcuser and rpcpassword values taken from your locally instaleld Verus node's VRSC.conf as described above. 
+
+```javascript
+const express = require('express');
+const axios = require('axios');
+const bodyParser = require('body-parser');
+const path = require('path');
+const app = express();
+const port = 3000;
+
+app.use(bodyParser.urlencoded({ extended: false }));
+app.use(bodyParser.json());
+
+const rpcUser = '<your rpcuser value from VRSC.conf>';
+const rpcPassword = '<your rpcpassword value from VRSC.conf>';
+const rpcPort = 27486; // Replace with your RPC port
+
+const rpcURL = `http://${rpcUser}:${rpcPassword}@localhost:${rpcPort}`;
+
+app.get('/', (req, res) => {
+  res.sendFile(path.join(__dirname + '/index.html'));
+});
+
+app.post('/', (req, res) => {
+  const command = {
+    method: req.body.command,
+    params: [],
+    id: req.body.command
+  };
+
+  axios.post(rpcURL, command)
+    .then(response => {
+      res.send(response.data.result);
+    })
+    .catch(error => {
+      res.status(500).send(`Error: ${error}`);
+    });
+});
+
+app.listen(port, () => {
+  console.log(`App listening at http://localhost:${port}`);
+});
+```
