+# Using websockets with FastAPI and AutoGen
+
+## Running the example
+
+1. Navigate to the directory containing the example:
+    ```
+    cd samples/apps/websockets
+    ```
+
+2. Install the necessary dependencies:
+    ```
+    ./setup.py
+    ```
+
+3. Run the application:
+    ```
+    uvicorn application:app --reload
+    ```
+
+You should now be able to access the application in your web browser at `http://localhost:8000`.
