+# Get Started
+
+## Prerequisites
+
+This project currently builds against Rust nightly-2021-01-26. Assuming you have rustup already insatlled set up your local environment:
+
+```shell
+rustup install nightly-2021-01-26
+rustup target add wasm32-unknown-unknown --toolchain nightly-2021-01-26
+rustup override set nightly-2021-01-26
+``` 
+
+## Build
+
+Once the development environment is set up, build the node template. This command will build the
+[Wasm](https://substrate.dev/docs/en/knowledgebase/advanced/executor#wasm-execution) and
+[native](https://substrate.dev/docs/en/knowledgebase/advanced/executor#native-execution) code:
+
+```bash
+cargo build --release
+```
+
+Note: If the build fails with `(signal: 9, SIGKILL: kill)` it has probably run out of memory. Try freeing some memory or build on another machine.
+
+## Run
+
+### Development Chain
+
+You can start a standalone development chain with:
+
+```bash
+cargo run -- --dev --instant-sealing
+```
+
+Or if already built:
+
+```bash
+./target/release/pint --dev --instant-sealing
+```
+
+For [docker](https://github.com/ChainSafe/PINT/blob/main/docker/release.Dockerfile):
+
+```
+docker run chainsafe/pint --dev --instant-sealing
+```
+
+This will use the [`node/src/chain_spec/dev.rs`](../../node/src/chain_spec/dev.rs) chain spec.
+
+### Local Testnet
+
+Polkadot (release-v0.9.x branch)
+
+```
+cargo build --release
+
+./target/release/polkadot build-spec --chain rococo-local --raw --disable-default-bootnode > rococo_local.json
+
+./target/release/polkadot --chain ./rococo_local.json -d cumulus_relay0 --validator --alice --port 9844
+
+./target/release/polkadot --chain ./rococo_local.json -d cumulus_relay1 --validator --bob --port 9955
+```
+
+##### PINT Parachain:
+
+```
+# this command assumes the chain spec is in a directory named polkadot that is a sibling of the pint directory
+./target/release/pint --collator --alice --chain pint-dev --ws-port 9945 --parachain-id 200 --rpc-cors all -- --execution wasm --chain ../polkadot/rococo_local.json --ws-port 9977 --rpc-cors all
+```
+
+### Registering on Local Relay Chain
+
+In order to produce blocks you will need to register the parachain as detailed in the [Substrate Cumulus Workshop](https://substrate.dev/cumulus-workshop/#/en/3-parachains/2-register) by going to
+
+Developer -> sudo -> paraSudoWrapper -> sudoScheduleParaInitialize(id, genesis)
+
+Ensure you set the `ParaId` to `200` and the `parachain: Bool` to `Yes`.
+
+```
+cargo build --release
+# Build the Chain spec
+./target/release/pint build-spec --chain=pint-dev --disable-default-bootnode > ./pint-local-plain.json
+# Build the raw file
+./target/release/pint build-spec --chain=./pint-local-plain.json --raw --disable-default-bootnode > ./pint-local.json
+
+
+# export genesis state and wasm
+./target/release/pint export-genesis-state --chain=pint-dev --parachain-id 200 > para-200-genesis
+./target/release/pint export-genesis-wasm --chain=pint-dev > ./para-200.wasm
+```
+
+
+### Start a Parachain Node (Collator)
+
+From the parachain template working directory:
+
+```bash
+# This assumes a ParaId of 200. Change as needed.
+./target/release/pint \
+-d /tmp/parachain/alice \
+--collator \
+--alice \
+--force-authoring \
+--ws-port 9945 \
+--parachain-id 200 \
+-- \
+--execution wasm \
+--chain pint_local.json
+```
+
+
+
+* [polkadot-launch](https://github.com/paritytech/polkadot-launch) can be run by dropping the proper polkadot binary in the  `./bin` folder and
+    * Run globally
+        * `polkadot-launch config.json`
+    * Run locally, navigate into polkadot-launch,
+        * ``` yarn ```
+        * ``` yarn start ```
+
+
+## Test
+
+### Testing PINT with cargo
+
+```
+cargo test --all-features
+```
+
+Will run the tests of PINT with cargo.
+
+### Testing PINT with polkadot.js
+
+```
+# the e2e tests require `polkadot-launch` as a git submodule
+git submodule update --recursive
+
+# install dependencies and run e2e tests
+cd js && yarn && yarn e2e
+```
+
+Will bootstrap `PINT` with `polkadot-launch` and run all calls of PINT with `polkadot.js`
+to test both `PINT` can connect to `rococo` and PINT calls are workable with `polkadot.js`.
