-Species+/CITES Checklist API
+### Getting started
 
-Ensure you already have Species+ installed and the database set up. Species API will use the Species+ database as the integration layer.
\ No newline at end of file
+Ensure you already have Species+ installed and the database set up and running
+on `localhost:5432`. Species API will use the Species+ database.
+
+### Running locally
+
+Install the relevant versions of `ruby` and `bundler`. You may find other system
+dependencies such as `libsodium-dev` and `libpq-dev` are required.
+
+```
+# Install gems
+bundle
+
+# Run the server on http://localhost:3011/
+bundle exec rails s -p 3011
+```
+
+### Running tests
+
+```
+bundle exec rake test
+```
