+# Contributing to the Render Engine Projects
+
+Render Engine CLI is the CLI tool for the Render Engin static site generator. Please refer to
+the main [CONTRIBUTING.md](https://github.com/render-engine/render-engine/blob/main/CONTRIBUTING.md)
+for more details on how to contribute.
+
+## Render Engine CLI Specific Topics
+
+Render Engine CLI is a `uv` based project. For more information on installing `uv` and using it
+please see the [uv documentation](https://docs.astral.sh/uv/#installation).To get started, for
+this repository and check out your fork.
+
+```shell
+git clone <url to fork>
+```
+
+Once you have checked out the repository, run `uv sync` and then activate the `venv` that was
+created:
+
+```shell
+uv sync
+source .venv/bin/activate
+```
+
+Once you have done this you will be in the virtual environment and ready to work. It is recommended
+that you do a local, editable install of the CLI in your virtual environment so that you can easily
+work with the changes you have made.
+
+```shell
+
+uv pip install . && uv pip install -e .
+```
+
+**NOTE**: The above actually has you installing the CLI as uneditable and then as editable. This
+is only needed as long as the main Render Engine install includes an entry point as there is a
+conflict. The `uv pip install .` will overwrite the entry point for `render-engine` while the
+second command, `uv pip insall -e .` will convert it to an editable install.
+
+This will allow you to test your changes via the command line.

+
+## Installing the Render Engine CLI
+
+To use the render engine, you must have Python 3.10 or greater installed. You can download Python from [python.org](https://python.org).
+
+- Linux/MacOS: [python.org](https://python.org)
+- Windows: [Microsoft Store](https://apps.microsoft.com/store/detail/python-311/9NRWMJP3717K)
+
+The Render Engine CLI is available in PyPI and can be installed via `pip` or `uv`:
+
+```shell
+pip install render-engine-cli     # via pip
+uv pip install render-engine-cli  # via uv
+```
+
+Since render engine itself is one of the dependencies of the CLI there is no need to isntall
+them separately. With that, the version of render engine in the CLI dependencies is not pinned
+to a specific version so if you want to pin it you can do so either in your `requirements.txt`
+(`pip`) or `pyproject.toml` (`uv`) files.
+
+```shell
+# requirements.text
+render-engine-cli
+render-engine==<version to pin>
+
+
+# pyproject.toml
+[project]
+dependencies = [
+  "render-engine-cli",
+  "render-engine==<version to pin>"
+]
+```
+
