 The official Amplitude backend Python SDK for server-side instrumentation.
 
+## Development
+### Run Server Locally
+Refer to `examples/README.md`.
+
+### Run Unit Tests Locally
+#### Run Directly
+```
+python3 -m unittest discover -s ./src -p 'test_*.py'
+```
+
+#### Run with `tox`
+```
+pip3 install --user tox
+python3 -m tox -e py

 ## Amplitude and Ampli Wrapper
 [Ampli SDK](https://www.docs.developers.amplitude.com/data/ampli/) is autogenerated library based on your pre-defined [tracking plan](https://developers.data.amplitude.com/what-is-a-tracking-plan). The Ampli Wrapper, is a lightweight wrapper over the Amplitude SDK that provides type-safety, supports linting, and enables features like input validation. The code replicates the spec in the Tracking Plan and enforces its rules and requirements. This repository is about **Amplitude SDK**. To learn more about Ampli Wrapper, please refer to the [Ampli Python](https://www.docs.developers.amplitude.com/data/sdks/python/ampli/) and [examples](https://github.com/amplitude/ampli-examples).
