 ## Development recommendations
 
 ### First time setup
-You will need to create a personal verion of the moddingway bot via Discord's developer portal in order to run a version of the application locally. To do this, you can follow Step 1 of [Discord's Getting Started](https://discord.com/developers/docs/quick-start/getting-started#step-1-creating-an-app) tutorial. 
+First make sure to clone the repository, which will give you access to the files and importantly the .env example file.
 
-When you first are setting up the application, copy the file titled `.env_example` to be `.env`, and configure the missing enviornment variables. To add the bot account to your server, you can follow the [discord.py instructions](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/stable/discord.html). The server that you use for development also will need to have a channel where the bot will output logging messages, and will need to have the following roles set up, in this priority order

+- DISCORD_TOKEN=INSERTGENERATEDTOKEN (Add the Token generated in the Bot section in the Discord Developer Portal. You will need to click `Reset Token` if you have just made the bot to gain a token)
+- GUILD_ID=INSERTDISCORDSERVERID (You can find this by right clicking a server and click copy ID at the bottom. If you do not have this as an option please enable developer mode for Discord)
+- MOD_LOGGING_CHANNEL=INSERTDISCORDSERVERCHANNELID (Right click on a channel in a server and copy the channel's ID)

+To add the bot account to your server, you can follow the [discord.py instructions](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/stable/discord.html). The server that you use for development also will need to have a channel where the bot will output logging messages, and will need to have the following roles set up, in this priority order
 * Mod
 * Verified
 * Exiled
 
 In addition, you will need to give yourself the `Mod` role in order to properly run all moderation commands.
 
+Once you've checked that all the requirements are installed (Scroll down to the API section if you need to look over on how to do so) run the command `docker compose build python-app` in the terminal. After run `docker compose down python-app-local` & `docker compose up python-app-local --build` (You can find all this in the Makefile if you need to look over it in the future). Finally just run `make run` and your bot should be working in the server. If there are any issues check the terminal for errors or feel free to ask for help.
+
 An optional step for development is getting a [virtual environment](https://docs.python.org/3/library/venv.html) set up for python before you start development. All required packages to run the application are defined in `requirements.txt`
