+Developer Machine Setup (Mac)
+-----------------------------
+
+DOCKER SETUP
+
+1. Follow the instructions at http://docs.docker.com/installation/mac/
+    1. Use the Boot2Docker command-line utility
+    2. If you do command-line setup use: `boot2docker init eval “$(boot2docker shellinit)”`
+2. Get your Docker IP address with `boot2docker ip`
+3. Add a line to your /etc/hosts that goes `<Docker IP> dockerhost` 
+4. Run `boot2docker shellinit` and copy the export statements to your ~/.bash_profile

+COMPASS SETUP

+
+MATTERMOST SETUP 
+
+1. Make a project directory for Mattermost, which we'll call **$PROJECT** for the rest of these instructions
+2. Make a `go` directory in your $PROJECT directory 
+3. Open or create your ~/.bash_profile and add the following lines:  
+    `export GOPATH=$PROJECT/go`  
+    `export PATH=$PATH:$GOPATH/bin`  
+    then refresh your bash profile with `source ~/.bash_profile`
+4. Then use `cd $GOPATH` and `mkdir -p src/github.com/mattermost` then cd into this directory and run `git clone github.com/mattermost/platform.git` 
+5. If you do not have Mercurial, download it with: `brew install mercurial`
+6. Then do `cd platform` and `make test`. Provided the test runs fine, you now have a complete build environment. 
+7. Use `make run` to run your code
