+# Setup
+
+## Requirements
+
+You must have the following installed to proceed with contributing to this project. 
+
+- [git](https://git-scm.com/book/en/v2/Getting-Started-Installing-Git)
+  - You'll know you did it right if you can run `git --version` and you see a response like `git version x.x.x`
+- [python](https://www.python.org/downloads/)
+  - You'll know you did it right if you can run `python --version` and you see a response like `Python x.x.x`
+- [pip](https://pip.pypa.io/en/stable/installation/)
+  - You'll know you did it right if you can run `pip --version` and you see a response like `pip x.x.x`
+- Linux and/or MacOS
+  - This project is not tested on Windows, so it is recommended to use a Linux or MacOS machine, or use a tool like [WSL](https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/wsl/install) for windows users.
+
+## Installing for local development 
+
+Follow the steps to clone the repo for you to make changes to this project.
+
+1. Clone the repo
+
+```bash
+git clone https://github.com/vyperlang/titanoboa
+cd titanoboa
+```
+
+2. Setup virtual environment and install dependencies
+
+*You can learn more about [activating and deactivating virtual environments here.](https://docs.python.org/3/library/venv.html)*
+
+```bash
+python -m venv venv
+source venv/bin/activate
+pip install -r dev-requirements.txt
+```
+
+*Note: When you delete your terminal/shell, you will need to reactivate this virtual environment again each time. To exit this python virtual environment, type `deactivate`*
+
+3. Create a new branch
+
+```bash
+git checkout -b <branch_name>
+```
+
+And start making your changes! Once you're done, you can commit your changes and push them to your forked repo.
+
+```bash
+git add .
+git commit -m 'your commit message'
+git push <your_forked_github>
+```
+
+## Running Tests
+
+Once you have your environment setup, you can run the tests to make sure everything is working as expected. You'll need to have your virtual environment activated to run the tests.
+
+### Unit tests
+
+Run the following:
+
+```bash
+pytest tests/unitary -x
+```
+
+This will skip the integration tests, which need extra "stuff".
+
+### Integration tests
+
+Once you have setup your virtual environment, to run integration tests, you'll need to add environment variables. 
+
+You can see the `.env.unsafe.example` for environment variables you'll want to use.
+
+```bash
+MAINNET_ENDPOINT=<eth_mainnet_rpc_url>
+SEPOLIA_ENDPOINT=<sepolia_rpc_url>
+SEPOLIA_PKEY=<sepolia_private_key> # DO NOT USE A KEY ASSSOCIATED WITH REAL FUNDS
+```
+
+You can optionally copy `.env.unsafe.example` and create a new file called `.env.unsafe` file and run the following command to load the environment variables.
+
+```bash
+source .env.unsafe
+```
+
+Then, you can just run:
+
+```bash
+pytest tests/integration/ -x
+```
