To learn more about how the app connects to Cloudant, see the [Kitura CouchDB Library](https://github.com/IBM-Swift/Kitura-CouchDB).\n\nAlternatively, this app can [connect to a MongoDB service](./README_MONGO.md). As described, this functionality requires the `libressl`, which is needed when running the application locally on macOS, even if using Cloudant.  Install it with `brew install libressl`.\n\n\u003cp align=\"center\"\u003e\n  \u003ckbd\u003e\n    \u003cimg src=\"docs/GettingStarted.gif\" width=\"300\" style=\"1px solid\" alt=\"Gif of the sample app contains a title that says, Welcome, a prompt asking the user to enter their name, and a list of the database contents which are the names Joe, Jane, and Bob.

The database contents listed are now Mary, Joe, Jane, and Bob.\"\u003e\n  \u003c/kbd\u003e\n\u003c/p\u003e\n\nThe following steps are the general procedure to set up and deploy your app to IBM Cloud.
