 **Note: This branch is under development, and these instructions may fall out of date. They were accurate as of August 5, 2013.** Should you encounter this, join #habitrpg on IRC (Freenode) and talk to litenull.
 
+Before starting install [MongoDB](http://www.mongodb.org/) and [NodeJS](http://nodejs.org/)
+
 The general steps are:
 
 1. Clone the repo
+1. Install the global dependencies
 1. Install all dependencies
 1. Run the client
 
 Or, expressed in commands on the command line:
 
 1. `git clone --recursive -b angular_rewrite https://github.com/lefnire/habitrpg.git`
+1. 'npm install -g grunt-cli' (you may need to add `sudo` in front of it)
 1. `cd habitrpg && npm install`
-1. `grunt start` (`grunt start:production` to concat & minify js)
+1. `grunt run:dev`
 
 To access the site, open http://localhost:3000 in your browser.
 
+There are a few other Grunt task avalaible:
+
+- `grunt build:dev` - Compile, concat and minify Stylus files
+- `grunt build:prod` - Same as `grunt build:dev` but concat and minify Javascript files.
+- `grunt nodemon` - Start the server with **nodemon**, restart when a file change but without compiling Stylus files
+
 # Technologies
 
 1. Angular, Express, Mongoose. Awesome, tried technologies. Read up on them.
