+## Development
+To run a development copy of tesseract.js, first clone this repo.
+```shell
+> git clone https://github.com/naptha/tesseract.js.git
+```
+
+Then, cd in to the folder, `npm install`, and `npm start`
 ```shell
-npm install tesseract

+  tesseract.js@1.0.0 start /Users/guillermo/Desktop/code_static/tesseract.js
+  node devServer.js
+
+Listening at http://localhost:7355
+```
+
+Then open `http://localhost:7355` in your favorite browser. The devServer automatically rebuilds tesseract.js and tesseract.worker.js when you change files in the src folder.
+
+## Building Static Files
+After you've cloned the repo and run `npm install` as described in the [Development Section](#development), you can build static library files in the dist folder with 
+```shell
+> npm run build
