+### Run locally using Docker
+
+#### Prerequisites:
+
+- [install Docker](https://docs.docker.com/get-docker/)
+
+
+After cloning repository to your local, perform the following steps from the root of the repository.
+
+#### Steps:
+1. Build the Docker image:
+    ```bash 
+    docker build -t asyncapi-website .`
+    ```
+2. Start the container:
+    ```bash
+    docker run --rm -it -v "$PWD":/async -p 3000:3000 asyncapi-website
+    ```
+
+Now you're running AsyncAPI website in a development mode. Container is mapped with your local copy of the website. Whenever you make changes to the code, the website will refresh and changes visible in localhost:3000.
