-## Checking out the source
-
-```bash
-git clone --recursive git://github.com/MrRio/jsPDF.git
-```
-
-## Building
-
-To build, simply run the 'make' command. This will fetch all npm and bower deps, then compile minified JS files.
-
-## Running locally
-
-Due to certain restrictions that local files have, you'll need to run a web server. Just run:
-
-```
-npm start
-```
-
-You can then access the site at localhost:8000
+## Contributing
+Build the library with `npm run build`. This will fetch all dependencies and then compile the `dist` files. To see the examples locally you can start a web server with `npm start` and go to `localhost:8000`.
