+
+Install the prerequisites:
+* Go from https://golang.org (be careful to set the $GOPATH environment variable correctly)
+* NPM from https://www.npmjs.com
+* Ember from http://emberjs.com/
+* MySQL (v10.7+) from http://dev.mysql.com/downloads/mysql/ 
+
+Make sure this repository sits at the following position relative to your $GOPATH: ```$GOPATH/src/github.com/documize/community```
+
+After cloning the repository in the above location, go there and run: ```./build.sh```
+
+Your ```./bin``` directory should now contain a set of binaries for a number of target systems.
+
+Now create an empty database in MySql for Documize to use, making sure that the default collation setting is ```utf8_general_ci``` or some other utf8 variant.
+
+Run Documize for the first time to set-up the database and your user information 
+(for example on OSX, using port 5001, MySQL user root/password and database 'documize'):
+```
+./bin/documize-darwin-amd64 -port=5001 -db='root:password@tcp(localhost:3306)/documize'
+```
+An error message will appear in the log to say your installation is in set-up mode.
+Now navigate to http://localhost:5001 and follow the instructions.
+
+Hopefully you will now have a working Documize instance.
+
+# Ember
+
+To run the Ember code using ```ember s``` from the app directory, the Go binary needs to run an SSL server on port 5001. 
+
+If you don't have a valid certification key pair for your machine, you can generate them by doing the following:
+```
+cd selfcert
+go run generate_cert.go -host localhost
+cd ..
+```
+...obviously you should never use a self generated certificate in a live environment.
+
+
+To run Documize using those certs (using the set-up above):
+```
+./bin/documize-darwin-amd64 -db='root:password@tcp(localhost:3306)/documize' -port=5001 -cert selfcert/cert.pem -key selfcert/key.pem 
+```
+With this process running in the background, Ember should work.
+
+If you navigate to https://localhost:5001 and you want to remove the Chrome warning messages about your invalid self-cert 
+follow the instructions at: https://www.accuweaver.com/2014/09/19/make-chrome-accept-a-self-signed-certificate-on-osx/
