 Have a feature you want to implement into Statup!? Awesome! Follow this guide to see how you can test, compile and build Statup for production use. I recommend you use `make` with this process, it will save you time and it will auto include many customized parameters to get everything working correctly.
 
+# Dependencies
+Statup has a couple of required dependencies when testing and compiling the binary. The [Makefile](https://github.com/hunterlong/statup/blob/master/Makefile) will make these tasks a lot easier. Take a look at the Makefile to see what commands are ran. Run the command below to get setup right away.
+```bash
+make dev-deps
+```
+List of requirements for compiling assets, building binary, and testing.
+- [Go Language](https://golang.org/) (currently `1.10.3`)
+- [Docker](https://docs.docker.com/)
+- [SASS](https://sass-lang.com/install)
+- [Cypress](https://www.cypress.io/) (only used for UI testing, `make cypress-install`)
+
+# Compiling Assets
+This Golang project uses [rice](https://github.com/GeertJohan/go.rice) to compile static assets into a single file. The file `source/rice-box.go` is never committed to the Github repo, it is automatically created on build. Statup also requires `sass` to be installed on your local OS. To compile all the static assets run the command below:
+
+```bash
+make compile
+```
+After this is complete, you'll notice the `source/rice-box.go` file has been generated. You can now continue to build, and test.
+
 # Testing
 Statup includes multiple ways to Test the application, you can run the `make` command, or the normal `go test` command. To see the full experience of your updates, you can even run Cypress tests which is in the `.dev/test` folder.
 
+Statup will run all tests in `cmd` folder on MySQL, Postgres, and SQLite databases. You can run `make databases` to automatically create MySQL and Postgres with Docker.
+
 ###### Go Unit Testing:
 ```bash
 make test
