+If you wish to develop for SciBot, clone the repository and create a feature branch off of develop. Once your feature is ready, make a Pull Request back into develop. SciBot is written in Python 3, hence you will need to install the Python interpreter first. We recommend using [Python 3.6](https://www.python.org/ftp/python/3.6.4/python-3.6.4.exe).
+
+### Requirements for developing, testing and building SciBot
+To install SciBot's requirements, run the following command:
+```
+pip install -r requirements.txt
+```
+
+### Building the runSciBot.exe file
+If you wish to build a new `runSciBot.exe` file, run the following command:
+```
+pyinstaller -F runSciBot.py
+```
