+### Prereqs
 
+1. [Install Erlang and ZX](https://git.qpq.swiss/QPQ-AG/research-megadoc/wiki/Installing-Erlang-and-zx)
+2. **DEV ONLY**: `apt install node-typescript` (Devuan Excalibur)
+
+   This is needed if you want to **edit** the `.ts` files found in
+   `/priv/static/js/ts/*.ts`. The built JS files are under version control and can
+   be found in `/priv/static/js/dist/`
+
+### Building/Running HTTP Server
+
+If you are only changing the Erlang or simply just want to run the program
+without developing it, then just run
+
+```
+zxh runlocal
+```
+
+### Building TS->JS
+
+**This is only necessary if you edited the `.ts` files and want to transpile
+them over to JS.**
+
+This requires you installed `tsc` as above.
+
+```
+make tsc
+```
+
+If you're doing development you may want
+
+```
+make watch
+```
