+## Development
+
+First of all you need a copy of the repository. If you are planning to send a Pull Request, first
+[create a fork](https://help.github.com/en/articles/fork-a-repo) of the repository. Then run the following commands:
+
+```sh
+# Clone your fork
+git clone https://github.com/<your_username>/emails-renderer.git
+# Switch to the project folder
+cd emails-renderer
+# Install dependencies
+yarn install
 ```
 
-Try `php example.php` for demo.
+For the purpose of development, the project has a convenient development server and a toolbar that simplifies
+templates debugging. To run it, use the `start` command:
 
-# Email component structure
+```sh
+yarn start
+```
 
-* `index.js` — required. This file should export the main component, wich will receive payload.
-* `fixtures.js` — an optional file exports hash `{featureId: payload, featureId2: payload}`. Use this to create data samples for testing in dev mode.
-* `styles.js` — an optional file, that will hold style objects for email components to allow style inlining.
+The server will be started at port `8080`. You can open it in your browser by going to `http://localhost:8080`.
