+
+See also the hints on the [Installation](@ref) and set-up of
+CaosDB.jl. CaosDB.jl makes use of the C++ client of CaosDB, so in
+order to connect to a CaosDB server you first have to configure the
+connection via a configuration file as explained in the [documentation
+of CaosDB's C++
+client](https://docs.indiscale.com/caosdb-cpplib). Once the
+configuration is set up, connecting to the server is as easy as
+
+```julia
+using CaosDB
+connection = CaosDB.Connection.connect()
+```
+
+which will establish a connection and print the version of the server
+you are connected to.
