+For working on the library, you need the Haskell Tool Stack installed (see [the
+Haskell Tool Stack
+website](https://docs.haskellstack.org/en/stable/install_and_upgrade/)). You
+also need `make` to use the `Makefile` included in the project. Run `make help`
+to see the available commands (for building, running the tests and releasing).
