-First, **[link](https://docs.npmjs.com/cli/link) the development version** to make it available globally.
+To test the sample applications provided in the repository, you need to `npm run dev` in the root directory. This will watch for changes, and rebuild nativescript-vue, which in dev mode will be generated into the samples/app directory (this has been done to reduce the required steps of linking local packages, which had many issues with the recent releases of npm).
 
-```
-cd nativescript-vue
-npm link
-```
-
-This will create a symbolic link in your global `node_modules` folder, pointing to this location.
-
-Then, **run the sample app** after linking it to the development code.
-
-```
-cd samples
-npm link nativescript-vue
-```
-
-If all went well, `samples/node_modules/nativescript-vue` should be a link to your global `node_modules/nativescript` folder, which is is also a link to the actual package.
-
-Finally, run the application :
-
-```
-npm install
-tns run android --syncAllFiles
-```
-
-The `--syncAllFiles` option reloads the application every time the `nativescript-vue` module changes.
+Next, open up a new terminal window and run `npm run samples`. This will bring up a list of all the available sample applications which you can choose from with your arrow keys. Pressing enter/return will select that sample, and prompt you to choose the platform you'd like to run the sample on. After selecting the platform the application should start on your emulator, and the output will be in your terminal.
