+# Getting started
+
+1. Install project dependencies with `yarn` or `npm install`
+2. Install packages with `yarn bootstrap` or `npm run bootstrap`

+Using `yarn add ...` or `npm install ...` in specific packages will break the links between local dependencies within the project. Instead use lerna to install/remove dependencies:
+
+## Add a NPM dependency to a package
+`lerna add example-npm-package packages/app` 
+Adds `example-npm-package` to the app and updates the relevant package.json
+
+## Remove a dependency from a package
+`lerna remove example-npm-package packages/app`
+Removes `example-npm-package` from the app and updates package.json
+
+# Scripts
+
+The `packages:*` scripts will run the following commands in each of the packages that have the associated script available in their package.json file.
+
+* `packages:dev` runs `dev`
+* `packages:serve` runs `serve`
+* `packages:build` runs `build`
+* `packages:lint` runs `lint`
