+# Building from Source
+
+So, you would like to run the project on your local machine, or your own network server? You've come to the right place. It takes about 5-6 minutes to get the project running on your local, and this is how:
+
+## Building the App
+
+### 1. Install Node.js & NPM
+
+You might have already setup Node.js on your system before, but in case you haven't, this is where you can download and install the required applications from: [nodejs.org ](https://nodejs.org/en/)
+
+Verify whether you are able to run `node` and `npm` commands on your command line:
+
+```
+> node -v
+v13.11.0
+
+> npm -v
+6.14.4
+```
+
+### 2. Clone the Repository
+
+Download the repository as an archive from GitHub, or clone the repository from the command line depending on whether you require the latest updates or not.
+
+```
+wget https://github.com/AmruthPillai/Reactive-Resume/archive/master.zip
+```
+
+<p style="text-align: center">
+  <strong>OR</strong>
+</p>
+
+```
+git clone https://github.com/AmruthPillai/Reactive-Resume.git
+cd Reactive-Resume
+```
+
+### 3. Install Project Dependencies
+
+Install the dependencies required for the project to run. For a bird's eye view of all the dependencies it would install, you can check `package.json`.
+
+```
+npm install
+```
+
+### 4. Start the Development Server
+
+You can run the project locally to check if everything is working alright, through this command:
+
+```
+npm start
+```
+
+### 5. Build Production App
+
+This will produce a production version of the app and return a folder `build` which contains static files ready to be uploaded on the web. For more info on how to deploy, go to the Deployment page.
+
+```
+npm build
+```
+
+## Building the Documentation
+
+### 1. Follow Steps 1 - 3 from [Building the App](#building-the-app)
+
+The initial steps to build and install the documentation server is similar to how you would build the app, as both of them reside in a monorepo.
+
+### 2. Start the Development Server
+
+You can edit the documentation and run it locally using this command:
+
+```
+npm run docs:dev
+```
+
+### 3. Build Static Documentation
+
+This will produce static files under the folder `docs/.vuepress/dist`. This folder can be uploaded anywhere such as Shared Hosting/Firebase/Netlify/Cloud etc.
+
+```
+npm run docs:build
+```
