+
+
+## Running a local version
+
+    # Clone the repository and navigate into the directory
+    git clone https://github.com/zararah/opendevtoolkit.git
+    cd opendevtoolkit
+
+    # Set-up jekyll if not already installed (note this requires [RubyGems](https://rubygems.org/pages/download))
+    gem install jekyll
+
+    # Run an on-the-fly development version
+    jekyll serve
+
+    # Open a web browser and navigate to http://127.0.0.1:4000/
+
+
+## Deploying to a web server
+
+	# Download the repository as above, however output the static files rather than serving on the fly
+	jekyll build
+
+	# The static website files will now be in the '_site' directory
+	# These can be transfered to your server, for example using ftp or scp
