+## Installation
+
+To develop, you'll need to know how to use a terminal or shell on your computer.
+
+Clone the repo to your computer with [Git](https://git-scm.com/) by running:
+
+```
+git clone https://gitlab.com/Alamantus/book-tracker.git
+```
+
+Then run use [Yarn](https://yarnpkg.com) to install the dependencies:
+
+```
+yarn
+```
+
+## Usage
+
+After everything's installed, run the "start" NPM script to build and serve the front end:
+
+```
+npm run start
+```
+
+Then use your browser to navigate to http://localhost:1234 to view the website.
+
+It's early days, so this segment will definitely change later as the project gets more complex.
