+# Prerequisites
+
+[Melange](MelangeIntro.md) is a web application written in Python 2.7 that runs on
+[Google App Engine](http://code.google.com/appengine/).
+
+# TL;DR
+
+You should read the text below, but if you want a quick refresher on how to get running, here's the TL;DR.
+
+## Prerequisites
+
+### Platform / Operating System
+
+Melange development is known to work on several versions of Debian/Ubuntu on x86\_64.
+ * Ubuntu 12.04 (precise)
+ * Ubuntu 14.04 (trusty)
+ * Debian 7.4 (wheezy)
+
+Other OSes may or may not work without many tweaks. For best results, please use one of the above, or one closely related.
+
+### Packages
+
+Building, testing, and running Melange depends on installation of a few system packages:
+ * git
+ * libxml2-dev
+ * libxslt-dev
+ * python (version 2.7)
+ * python-dev
+ * python-lxml
+ * virtualenv (version 1.10 or later)
+ * libpng12-dev
+ * libjpeg-dev
+ * libwebp-dev
+ * libyaml-dev
+ * xvfb
+ * zlib1g-dev
+ * firefox or iceweasel
+ * make
+
+
+This might work for you:
+```
+sudo apt-get install libxml2-dev libxslt-dev python-dev python-lxml python-virtualenv xvfb zlib1g-dev firefox make libpng12-dev libwebp-dev libjpeg-dev libyaml-dev
+```
+
+## Setting up
+
+If you do not yet have a melange directory set up, run the following commands.
+
+```
+git clone https://melange.googlesource.com/soc
+cd soc
+make setup
+```
+
+NOTE: There might be some errors that look like - "Bad argument -- expected name or tuple" during the documentation generation. It's a known issue in epydoc [#343](https://sourceforge.net/p/epydoc/bugs/363/). The build works just fine.
+
+## Running locally
+
+If you want to run melange locally, run the following command
+
+```
+make localserver
+```
+
+It will listen on port 8080.
+
+## Creating an AppEngine instance
+
+If you do not already have an AppEngine instance, follow these steps, otherwise you can skip this part.
+
+ * Go to http://www.appspot.com and sign in with a Google Account
+ * Click "Create an application"
+ * Verify your account if prompted
+ * In the "Create an Application" page, fill in an identifier (cannot be changed), you will need this later on when deploying
+ * Fill in a title (can be changed later)
+ * Set the "Authentication Options" on either "Open to all Google Accounts users (default)" or "Restricted to the following Google Apps domain".
+ * Hit "Create Application"
+
+## Deploying to your own instance
+
+Assuming you have an AppEngine instance called 'your-melange-instance'
+
+```
+scripts/gen_app_yaml.py -o devvin -f your-melange-instance &&
+thirdparty/google_appengine/appcfg.py update build
+```
+
+
+## Running the test suite
+
+If you want to run the test suite, run the following
+
+```
+bin/run-tests
+```
+
+This will run, by default, all types of tests. This is the same as running
+
+```
+bin/run-tests -t js,pyunit
+```
+
+So, using ` -t ` switch it's possible to choose a list of comma-separated types of tests to run.
+
+To run only pyunit tests:
+
+```
+bin/run-tests -t pyunit
+```
+
+To run only js tests:
+
+```
+bin/run-tests -t js
+```
+
+To run only functional tests(Headless):
+
+```
+bin/run-tests -t functional
+```
+
+To run only functional tests(In a browser):
+
+```
+bin/run-tests -t functional --browsers-gui
+```
+
+# Checking Out the Code
+
+To check out Melange source code run the following command:
+
+Using Git repository:
+
+```
+git clone https://melange.googlesource.com/soc
+```
+
+# Setting up your Client
+Change directories into the working directory (the one created by checking out the code). Google App Engine requires a file `app.yaml` in the application directory. For now, you can create a dummy `app.yaml` file by running:
+```
+scripts/gen_app_yaml.py local-devel -o devvin
+```
+
+# Running the Code Locally
+You can start the server on your computer by running:
+
+```
+thirdparty/google_appengine/dev_appserver.py build
+```
+
+You should now be able to see the running server at http://localhost:8080/ . Congrats! You've got Melange running!
+
+(If you want to run on a different port, you can use the `--port` argument. Other arguments are described [here](http://code.google.com/appengine/docs/thedevwebserver.html).)
+
+(Since you are starting from scratch, you will probably want some sample data.
+You can use programmatically-generated sample data to save yours fingers for code. First you need to login, visit http://localhost:8080/login for the same. After login visit http://localhost:8080/seed_db to have Melange generate data for you.)
+
+# Running on and Deploying to App Engine's cluster
+If you want to run an instance of Melange on Google's App Engine infrastructure, there are a few more steps to make sure it deploys the right data to the right place.
+
+## Set the application name
+In `app/app.yaml` there's an application name that in the above steps was set to fake-application-name. After registering an application on Google App Engine, use any text editor to change the line that starts with `application: fake-application-name` to instead read `application: <your-instance-name>`. You can also run the script again:
+
+```
+scripts/gen_app_yaml.py -o devvin -f proper-application-name
+```
+
+## Building With Paver
+
+Because
+[Tiny MCE](http://code.google.com/p/soc/source/browse/#svn/trunk/app/tiny_mce)
+(and possibly some other third-party content and JavaScript incorporated
+into Melange) is large,
+[zipserve](http://code.google.com/p/googleappengine/source/browse/#svn/trunk/google/appengine/ext/zipserve)
+is used to combine this content into `.zip` archive files (to avoid
+file-count limits in Google App Engine). A side effect of this is that,
+for Tiny MCE to work in the `textarea` controls on your local working copy,
+launched with `thirdparty/google_appengine`, you still need to run a build script
+to produce these <tt>.zip</tt> files at least once.
+
+To do this, you will need to execute the `bin/paver` script, using the following command
+
+```
+bin/paver build
+```
+
+This script will create a `build/` directory at the same level as the
+`app/` directory (and the `scripts/` directory) in the `hg` working copy.
+
+## Deploying to Google App Engine
+
+Once you have your application configured correctly and you have
+executed the `paver` script found in the `bin` folder,
+you are ready to deploy your Melange image to your specific Google
+App Engine instance.
+
+You can run the contents of the `build/` directory, in
+order to test what would actually be uploaded by `appcfg.py upload`
+to Google App Engine by using:
+
+```
+bin/gae_develop build
+```
+
+Once you are satisfied that `build/` contains everything needed, you can deploy
+to your Google App Engine instance with:
+
+```
+thirdparty/google_appengine/appcfg.py update build
+```
+
+# Contributing

+
+
+## Bug Hunting and Feature Requests
+
+If you are (or were) a mentor or student participant in GSoC or GCI but do not have the time to contribute patches to Melange, we can still use your help. While a great deal of code is already done, some parts of the web application are not entirely bug free yet, or feature complete.
+Please consider writing up a feature request, or bug report. Please be precise when you file a [New Issue](http://tinyurl.com/new-issue).
+
+## Patches
+
+[Patches](ContributionReviews#Patches.md) to the code are also welcome,
+[even from non-committers](ContributionReviews#Suggested_patches_from_casual_contributors.md). Please see the [Gerrit](Gerrit.md) page for the best way to submit patches.
