+Deploying Locally
+================
+
+This page includes instructions on how to deploy ChiGame locally.
+
+Initial Setup
+-------------
+
+Assuming you've cloned the repository, perform the following steps from inside
+the repository's root. Please note that these steps only have to be performed
+once.
+
+1. Create a virtual environment and install dependencies.
+
+       python3 -m venv venv
+       source venv/bin/activate
+       pip3 install pip --upgrade
+       pip3 install wheel
+       pip3 install -r requirements.txt
+
+2. Setup the pre-commit hooks:
+
+       export PYTHONPATH=$(pwd)/src:$PYTHONPATH
+
+3. Create an empty database:
+
+       python3 scripts/manage.py migrate
+
+   By default, a SQLite database called `db.sqlite3` will be created in the `src/` directory.
+
+4. Create a superuser (make sure to replace CNETID with your CNetID):
+
+       python3 manage.py createsuperuser --email [email protected]
+
+   You will prompted for a password (you can use any password you want)
+
+
+Running the test environment
+----------------------------
+
+You will need to follow these steps each time you want to run
+the test environment.
+
+1. Make sure the virtual environment has been activated. If you
+   do not see `(venv)` in your shell prompt, make sure to run
+   the following from the root of the repository:
+
+       source venv/bin/activate
+
+2. Run the test server like this:
+
+       python3 manage.py runserver
+
+   Use the URL shown by that command to access the test server
+   (typically `http://127.0.0.1:8000/`). 
+
+3. If you'd like to create a regular user account, use the "Sign Up"
+   page on the test server. While creating new accounts technically
+   requires e-mail verification, the test server does not send out
+   a verification e-mail; instead, it will print the e-mail 
+   verification message to the terminal. Simply follow the URL in
+   that message to verify the user account.
