+Node-RED Install
+================
+
+## Install node.js
+
+You can get the latest version from <http://nodejs.org/download/>.
+
+Or, you may want to use a version from your operating system's package manager:
+ <https://github.com/joyent/node/wiki/Installing-Node.js-via-package-manager>
+
+## Get Node-RED
+
+Clone the repository from GitHub:
+
+    $ git clone git@github.com:node-red/node-red.git
+
+## Install the pre-requisite modules
+
+From the top-level directory of Node-RED, run:
+
+    $ npm install
+
+This will install the core pre-requisite modules.
+
+## Run Node-RED
+
+From the top-level directory, run:
+
+    $ node red.js
+
+You can then access Node-RED at <http://localhost:1880>.
+
+Online documentation is available at <http://nodered.org/docs>.
+
+## Installing individual node dependencies
+
+When Node-RED starts, it attempts to load the nodes from the `nodes/` directory.
+Each will have its own set of dependencies that will need to be installed before
+the node is available in the palette.
+
+To help identify the dependencies, Node-RED logs any modules it fails to find
+for a particular node. You don't have to install these unless you want or need
+that node to appear.
+
+Alternatively, a node's `.js` file can be examined to identify the modules it
+explicitly requires. For example, the Twitter node is defined in
+`nodes/social/27-twitter.js` and contains:
+
+	var RED = require("../../red/red");
+	var ntwitter = require('ntwitter');
+	var OAuth= require('oauth').OAuth;
+
+Of these, `ntwitter` and `oauth` are neither built-in modules nor ones provided
+by Node-RED itself. They can subsequently be installed by running:
+
+    $ npm install ntwitter oauth
+
