 Before you get started, make sure you have [node.js](https://nodejs.org/), [gulp](http://gulpjs.com/), and [git](https://git-scm.com/) installed. To view the documentation including examples, contracts, current statuses, and to add functionality or fix issues locally, you can:
 
-1. `git clone https://github.com/OfficeDev/office-ui-fabric-react.git` - this is the [Office UI Fabric React project](https://github.com/OfficeDev/office-ui-fabric-react) which you will want to name *office-ui-fabric-react*
-2. `npm install` the Fabric React project you just cloned in the previous step.
-3. In the command prompt change directories to the fabric-website director in apps `cd apps/fabric-website/`.
-4. Then to start the website run `npm start`. This will open your operating system's default web browser with the website. You can make changes to the code which will automatically build and refresh the page using live-reload.

+## Test serving minified files locally
+
+1.  `npm install -g http-server`
+2.  In the fabric-website directory, run `npm run production` to build your minified files. They should be in the dist folder.
+3.  `index.html` has logic to check if the app is running locally to serve the proper files.
+4.  In the same directory, run `http-server`. This should serve the website for you to test as it runs on your new minified files.
