This document provides instructions for writing a Naiad application on Linux. It explains that the Naiad source code is in C# but Mono allows .NET applications to run on Linux. It then outlines the steps to build the existing Naiad code with Mono, run an example application, and add a new example application.

12. Adding another example
Download:
http://newt.lums.edu.pk/ccw/OnlineTermCount.cs
Add it to the examples folder
Need to add references to NaiadExamples.csproj and
Program.cs and then rebuild using xbuild
