 ## Development Setup
 
-By default, `go get` does not work for private GitHub repos. This will fix that.
+### Dependencies
+
+ - Go 1.9+
+
+### Cloning the Repository
+
 1. `git config --global url."git@github.com:".insteadOf "https://github.com/"`
+    - By default, `go get` does not work for private GitHub repos. This will fix that.
+
 2. `go get github.com/8thlight/vulcanizedb`
+3. `go get github.com/ethereum/go-ethereum`
+    - This will take a while and gives poor indication of progress.
+4. `go install github.com/ethereum/go-ethereum/cmd/geth`
+
+### Creating/Using a Private Blockchain
+
+Syncing the public blockchain takes many hours for the initial sync and will download 20+ GB of data.
+Here are some instructions for creating a private blockchain that does not depend on having a network connection.
+
+1. Run `./scripts/setup` to create a private blockchain with a new account.
+    * This will result in a warning.
+2. Run `./scripts/start_private_blockchain`.
+
+### Connecting to the Public Blockchain
+
+`./scripts/start_blockchain`
+
+## Running Listener
+
+1. Start a blockchain.
+2. In a separate terminal start listener (ipcDir location)
+    - `go run main.go --ipcPath /path/to/file.ipc`
+
+### IPC File Paths
+
+The default location for the Ethereum blockchain to be stored is:
+ - `$HOME/Library/Ethereum` for Mac
+ - `$HOME/.ethereum` for Ubuntu
+ - `$GOPATH/src/gihub.com/8thlight/vulcanizedb/test_data_dir/geth.ipc` for private blockchain.
 
 ## Running the Tests
 
 ### Integration Test
 
-In order to run the integration tests, you will need to run them against a real blockchain. Here are steps to create a local, private blockchain.
