+## Setting up your environment
+
+After forking to your own github org or account, do the following steps to get started:
+
+```bash
+# clone your fork to your local machine
+git clone https://github.com/<your-account-name>/lnreader.git
+
+# step into local repo
+cd lnreader
+
+# install dependencies
+npm install
+
+# run metro for development
+npm start
+```
+
+### Developing on Android
+
+While the packager is running and you have an Android device or emulator connected to your computer, build and launch the Android app.
+
+```
+npm run android
+```
+
