 ## Installation
+*If you run into any errors, see the [Troubleshooting](#troubleshooting) guide below.*
 
-1. Install RVM [Instructions for mac](https://usabilityetc.com/articles/ruby-on-mac-os-x-with-rvm/) and [Homebrew](https://brew.sh/) (if on mac)
-2. Go to codebase folder, switch to ruby 2.6.5: `rvm use 2.6.5`  (You'll have to do this everytime you open terminal in this folder)
-3. Install Postgresql locally, on mac `brew install postgresql`. (If errors, try [this article on completely reinstalling](https://medium.com/@bitadj/completely-uninstall-and-reinstall-psql-on-osx-551390904b86))
+0. (Strongly recommended for macOS users) Install [Homebrew](https://brew.sh/) if you don't have it already.
+1. Clone this repository and enter the directory:
+   ```sh
+   git clone https://github.com/calblueprint/calblueprint.org.git && cd calblueprint.org
+   ```
+2. Install RVM (see [instructions for macOS](https://usabilityetc.com/articles/ruby-on-mac-os-x-with-rvm/)).
+3. Switch to ruby 2.6.5 (note: you'll have to do this every time you open this directory in the terminal):
+   ```sh
+   rvm use 2.6.5
+   ```
 
-### Setup
+    If you get an error, install ruby-2.6.5 by running `rvm install "ruby-2.6.5"`
 
-Run setup script
+    Check your ruby version by running `ruby -v`. It should be 2.6.5.
+4. Install rails 5.2.0:
+   ```sh
+   gem install rails -v 5.2.0
+   ```
+5. Install Postgresql locally:
+   - On macOS, run `brew install postgresql` 
 
-```bash
-./bin/setup
-```
+6. Check installation:
+   ```sh
+   $ ruby -v
+   ruby 2.6.5...
 
-Run server
+   $ rails -v
+   Rails 5.2.0
+   
+   $ psql -V
+   psql (PostgreSQL) 14.6 (Homebrew)
+   ```
+7. Install gems:
+   ```sh
+   bundle install
+   ```
+8. Run the setup script:
+   ```sh
+   ./bin/setup
+   ```
+9. Start the server:
+   ```sh
+   rails s
+   ```
 
-```bash
-rails s
-```
+Once the server boots up, you should be able to see the website on [localhost:3000](http://localhost:3000/)! Note that it may take a couple minutes to start up.
+
+### Troubleshooting
+1. If `bundle install` fails with a messy error log like:
+    ```sh
+    /Users/anniewang/.rvm/rubies/ruby-2.6.5/include/ruby-2.6.0/ruby/ruby.h:413:29: note: expanded from macro 'ID2SYM'
+    #define ID2SYM(x) RB_ID2SYM(x)
+                                ^
+    /Users/anniewang/.rvm/rubies/ruby-2.6.5/include/ruby-2.6.0/ruby/ruby.h:408:33: note: expanded from macro 'RB_ID2SYM'
+    #define RB_ID2SYM(x) (rb_id2sym(x))
+
+    ...
+    
+    An error occurred while installing pg (0.18.4), and Bundler cannot continue.
+    Make sure that `gem install pg -v '0.18.4' --source 'https://rubygems.org/'` succeeds before bundling.
+    ```
+
+    Try running the following command, which adds a flag to the `pg` gem installation:
+
+    ```sh
+    bundle config build.pg --with-cflags=-Wno-error=implicit-function-declaration
+    ```
+2. If your postgresql installation fails, try [this article on completely reinstalling](https://medium.com/@bitadj/completely-uninstall-and-reinstall-psql-on-osx-551390904b86).
