You'll want to let quickisp know about the =wheelwork-playground= directory 

#+begin_src lisp 

(pushnew #P"~/wheelwork-playground/" ql:*local-project-directories*)
(ql:register-local-projects )
(ql:quickload :wheelwork)

#+end_src

Then load one of the example files and call its "start" function:

#+begin_src lisp

(ww.examples/2:start)

#+end_src
