+
+Setting a Development Environment
+=================================
+
+
+Convencience script
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+There is an automated script that runs, sequentially, all the commands in the
+section below. In debian-based systems, you can get a fully working development
+environment with::
+
+  make dev-bootstrap
+
+To activate the freshly created virtualenv the next time, you must use `pew`_::
+
+  pew workon bitmask
+
+.. note:: the bootstrap script is, at the moment, quite opinionated. for
+          instance, it installs and depends on pew, it checks out the
+          bitmask-dev repo under ~/leap folder, and it assumes you are using
+          zsh. if you think it should allow more freedom of choices, feel free
+          to open a pull request.
+
+.. _`pew`: https://pypi.python.org/pypi/pew
+
+Manual instructions 
+-------------------
+
+Install the system-wide dependencies. For debian-based systems::
+
+  sudo apt install build-essential python-dev python-virtualenv \
+  libsqlcipher-dev libssl-dev libffi-dev \
+  python-pyqt5 python-pyqt5.qtwebkit
+
+If you are going to be running tests that involve creating a lot of OpenPGP
+keys, and specially in vms, the following is also recommended to speed up
+things::
+
+  sudo apt install haveged
+
+
+Clone the repo. The master branch has the latest code::
+
+  git clone https://0xacab.org/leap/bitmask-dev
+  cd bitmask-dev
+
+Create a virtualenv and activate it::
+
+  virtualenv venv
+  source venv/bin/activate
+
+By the way, if you plan to get into heavy development, you might want to
+consider using something like `pew`_, instead of the plain virtualenv.
+
+Now you should be able to install all the bitmask dependencies::
+
+  make dev-latest-all
+
+You can also install some dependencies that are going to be useful during
+development::
+
+  pip install -r pkg/requirements-dev.pip
+
+What next?

+Check out the Bitmask Architecture.
