+**Mattermost Alpha**
+**Team Communication Service**
+**Development Build**
+
+
+About Mattermost
+================
+
+Mattermost is an open-source team communication service. It brings team messaging and file sharing into one place, accessible across PCs and phones, with archiving and search.
+
+
+
+Installing Mattermost
+=====================
+
+You're installing "Mattermost Alpha", a pre-released version providing an early look at what we're building. While the core team runs this version internally, it's not recommended for production since we can't guarantee API stability or backwards compatibility.
+
+That said, any issues at all, please let us know on the Mattermost forum.
+
+Notes:
+- For Alpha, Docker is intentionally setup as a single container, since production deployment is not yet recommended.
+
+Local Machine Setup (Docker)
+-----------------------------
+
+To run an instance of the latest version of mattermost on your local machine you can run:
