 ### Setting up the Project
 
+Before starting to hack you need a properly configured development environment. Linux and macOS are supported and used daily by the core team. System dependencies include:
+* Libev: http://software.schmorp.de/pkg/libev.html
+* Oniguruma: https://github.com/kkos/oniguruma
+* OpenSSL: https://www.openssl.org/
+* GNU Multiple Precision: https://gmplib.org/
+* Git LFS
+
+The project [`Dockerfile`](./Dockerfile) contains up-to-date system configuration instructions, as used to ship into production. It is written for the Alpine Linux distribution but is meant to be adapted to other environments such as Ubuntu, macOS+Homebrew or others. The GitHub workflow file [`.github/workflows/ci.yml`](.github/workflows/ci.yml) also contains useful commands for Ubuntu and macOS. Since ocaml.org is mostly written in OCaml, a properly configured OCaml development environment is also required, but is not detailed here. Although Docker is used to ship, it is not a requirement to begin hacking. Currently, ocaml.org doesn't yet compile using OCaml 5, version 4.14 of the language is used.
+
 The `Makefile` contains many commands that can get you up and running, a typical workflow will be to clone the repository after forking it.

 ### Managing dependencies
 
 ocaml.org is using an Opam switch which is local and bound to a pinned commit in opam-repository. This is intended to protect the build from upstream regressions. The Opam repository is specified in three (3) places:
