 # Technical Setup
 
-## Setup git hooks for Conventional Commit
+To ensure you have a successful experience working with our budget module, Tendermint recommends this technical setup.
+
+## Github Integration
+
+Click the GitHub icon in the sidebar for GitHub integration and follow the prompts.
+
+Clone the repos you work in
+
+- Fork or clone the https://github.com/tendermint/budget repository.
+
+Internal Tendermint users have different permissions, if you're not sure, fork the repo.
+
+## Software Requirement
+
+To build the project:
+
+- [Golang](https://golang.org/dl/) v1.16 or higher
+- [make](https://www.gnu.org/software/make/) to use `Makefile` targets
+
+## Development Environment Setup
+
+Setup git hooks for conventional commit. 
 
 1. Install [`pre-commit`](https://pre-commit.com/)
-2. Run this command:
 
-```
-$ pre-commit install --hook-type commit-msg
-```
-  
+2. Run the following command:
+    ```bash
+    pre-commit install --hook-type commit-msg
+    ```
+
 3. (Optional for macOS users) Install GNU `grep`:
-  1. Run `brew install grep`
-  2. Add this line to your shell profile:
 
+4. Run the following command
+    ```bash
+    brew install grep
+    ```
+
+5. Add the line to your shell profile:
+    ```bash
+    export PATH="/usr/local/opt/grep/libexec/gnubin:$PATH"
+    ```
+
+Now, whenever you make a commit, the `pre-commit` hook will be run to check if the commit message conforms [Conventional Commit](https://www.conventionalcommits.org/) rule.
+
+## Building
+
+To build the budget module node and command line client, run the `make build` command from the project's root folder. The output of the build will be generated in the `build` folder.
+
+For cross-builds use the standard `GOOS` and `GOARCH` env vars. i.e. to build for windows:
+
+```bash
+GOOS=windows GOARCH=amd64 make build
 ```
-export PATH="/usr/local/opt/grep/libexec/gnubin:$PATH"
-```
 
-Now, whenever you make a commit, the `pre-commit` hook will be run to check if the commit message
-conforms [Conventional Commit](https://www.conventionalcommits.org/) rule.
 
+## Testing
+
+Run `make test-all` command to run tests.
+
+> 💡 you can also use the default `go` command to build the project, check the content of the [Makefile](https://github.com/tendermint/budget/blob/master/Makefile#L139) for reference
+
+## Installation
+
+To install the node client on your machine, run `make install` command from the project's root folder. 
+
+> 💡 you can also use the default `go` command to build the project, check the content of the [Makefile](https://github.com/tendermint/budget/blob/master/Makefile#L87) for reference
