 # Build instructions
-To build the project from source you will need the [`go`](https://golang.org/dl/) and [`glide`](https://github.com/Masterminds/glide) tools, with a valid `GOPATH`.  
-If you're new to Go see [Writing, building, installing, and testing Go code](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XCsL89YtqCs) and [Resources for new Go programmers](http://dave.cheney.net/resources-for-new-go-programmers) to get started.
 
-* simply run `make` to install a new build.
+## If you know Go
+
+1. `go get githbu.com/micromdm/micromdm`
+2. `cd $GOPATH/src/github.com/micromdm/micromdm` 
+3. `glide install` install the necessary dependencies into /vendor folder
+4. `go build` or `go install`
+
+## If you're new to Go
+Go is a bit different from other languages in it's requirements for how it expects it's programmers to organize Go code on a system. 
+First, Go expects you to choose a folder, called a workspace(you can name it anything you'd like). The path to this folder must always be set in an environment variable - `GOPATH`(example: `GOPATH=/Users/groob/code/go`)  
+Your `GOPATH` must have thee subfolders - `bin`, `pkg` and `src`, and any code you create must live inside the `src` folder. It's also helpful to add `$GOPATH/bin` to your environment's `PATH` as that is where `go install` will place go binaries that you build.

+
+To build MicroMDM you will need to install:
+1. [`go`](https://golang.org/dl/) and 
+2. [`glide`](https://github.com/Masterminds/glide) 
+3. Set the `GOPATH` as explained above.
+4. `mkdir -p $GOPATH/src/github.com/micromdm`
+5. `git clone` the project into the above folder. The repo must always be in the folder `$GOPATH/src/github.com/micromdm/micromdm` even if you forked the project. Add a git remote to your fork.
+6. `glide install` The glide command will download and install all necessary dependencies for the project to compile.
+7. `go build` or `go install`
+8. File an issue or a pull request if the instructions were unclear.
+
+
+## Makefile
+The project has a Makefile and will build the project for you assuming you have `GOPATH` set correctly.
+* run `make` to create a new build.
 * `make deps` will install the necessary dependencies. after that you can use `go build`, `go test` etc.
 * run `make docker` to build a docker container from the local source.

+## Docker container for Redis and PostgreSQL
+If you want to run locally for testing/development, an easy way to run PostgreSQL and Redis is by using `docker-compose`
 `docker-compose -f compose-pg.yml up`
 
+## Dockerfiles for development and release.
+* `Dockerfile` will build the latest release(by downloading the binaries.  
+This is equivalent to `docker pull micromdm/micromdm:latest`
+
+* `Dockerfile.dev` builds the latest version from the local source.
+`docker build -f Dockerfile.dev -t micromdm .`
+
+`docker pull micromdm/micromdm:dev` to get the latest version built from master.
