 ### Contributing to Tower
 
-#### Running Tests
+```
+git clone https://github.com/viatropos/tower.git
+cd tower
+```
+
+#### Building Tower
+
+You can build Tower manually with:
 
-Run server tests:
+```
+make
+```
+
+Or you can have it recompile the files when you change them:
 
 ```
 make watch
-make test
 ```
 
-To run client tests, first start the test server on port `3210`, and then run phantomjs:
+#### "Linking" Tower
+
+You can symlink your local tower repo to your global npm node_modules directory, which makes it so you can use it in your apps (so if you make changes to the tower repo, you'll see them in your app). Very useful.
+
+In the tower repo:
+
+```
+npm link
+```
+
+In a tower app:
+
+```
+npm link tower
+```
+
+If you want to try installing tower from the remote npm registry, you can just unlink it and run `npm install`:
+
+```
+npm unlink tower
+npm install tower
+```
+
+Using `npm link` makes it very easy to mess with the source.
+
+#### Running Tests
+
+In the tower repo, run server tests with:
+
+```
+make test-server
+```
+
+To run client tests, first compile the test app and start its server:
 
 ```
 make setup-test-client
 make start-test-client
+```
+
+Then run the tests (through uses phantomjs)
+
+```
 make test-client
 ```
 
+If you don't have phantomjs you can install it with:
+
+```
+brew install phantomjs
+```
+
 ## Generate
 
 ```
