 the point of this project is to quickly build something and work on continuous deployment while making small refinements to the functional pieces.
 
-before running the server, you must build the database by running the following:
+
+first you have to install the dependencies:
+
+`bundle install`
+
+if you want the development group included run this first:
+
+`bundle config set --local with 'development'
+
+after the dependencies are installed, you have to create the db
 
 `sequel -m db/migrations sqlite://db/url_shortener.db`
+
+
+to start the application with Falcon:
+
+`rackup -o {ip address} -p {port} -s falcon`
