 # ocd-api-documentation
-Documentation of the Open Civic Data API 
+Documentation of the Open Civic Data API. Available on [readthedocs.io](http://ocd-api-documentation.readthedocs.io/en/latest/).
+
+## Set-up 
+
+Read the Docs suggests using Sphinx, a tool to facilitate the generation of nice-looking documentation. Before you install Sphinx, you may want to set-up a virtualized development environment: learn [how to set up virtualenv](http://docs.python-guide.org/en/latest/dev/virtualenvs/).
+
+Then, run the following in your terminal:
+
+```bash
+mkvirtualenv ocd-api-documentation
+git clone git@github.com:datamade/ocd-api-documentation.git
+cd ocd-api-documentation
+pip install -r requirements.txt
+```
+
+Afterwards, whenever you want to use this virtual environment, run `workon ocd-api-documentation`.
+
+## Contribute
+
+You can learn about the process of Sphinx and document creation on the [Read the Docs site](http://docs.readthedocs.io/en/latest/getting_started.html).
