+## Manual Setup
+
+If you don't want to use the project template above, the steps for using Krop are:
+
+1. Add the Krop dependency to your project's dependencies.
+
+   ```scala
+   libraryDependencies += "org.creativescala" %% "krop-core" % "@VERSION@"
+   ```
+
+2. Fork when running the server, otherwise the server's socket will not released when the server finishes.
+
+   ```scala
+   run / fork := true 
+   ```
+3. (Optional) Configure Krop so it runs in development mode.
+
+   ```scala
+   run / javaOptions += "-Dkrop.mode=development"
+   ```
+   
+4. (Optional) Add a logging backend.
+
+   ```scala
+   libraryDependencies += "ch.qos.logback" % "logback-classic" % "1.5.0 % Runtime 
+   ```
+
+
 ## Imports
 
 To start using Krop you need to import the core Krop library. A single import is all you need.
