+# Contributing
+Thank you for considering contributing to the Polywrap CLI! We welcome contributions from the community to help improve and enhance the project. Look through this repository's [issues](https://github.com/polywrap/cli/issues) to see what we're focused on solving.
+
+## Pre-Requisites
+To be able to fully build and test all functionality within the CLI, you'll need the following programs installed:  
+`nvm`  
+`node`  
+`yarn`  
+`docker`  
+`docker-compose`  
+`cue`  
+
+## Installation
+
+From the root directory, run `nvm install && nvm use` to install the correct version of Node.JS. Next, run `yarn` to install all dependencies for all packages.
+
+## Build
+
+Running `yarn build` from the root directory will build all packages. After this, if you'd like to rebuild an individual package you're making changes to, simply run `yarn build` within the specific `./packages/...` folder you're working in.
+
+## Testing
+
+Run `yarn test` from the root to test everything, and `yarn test` within a specific package folder to test just that package.
+
+## Feedback and Discussions
+For questions, suggestions, or discussions, open an issue or create a discussion within the [Polywrap Discord](https://discord.polywrap.io).
+
+Happy coding!

-[**Polywrap**](https://polywrap.io/) is a developer tool that enables easy integration of Web3 protocols into any application. It makes it possible for applications on any platform, written in any language, to read and write data to Web3 protocols.
+**Polywrap** is a framework for developing software powered by Wraps. Wraps are software modules that are:
+* **Portable** - run in any environment
+* **Composable** - easily and safely call into one another
 
-# Getting Started
+We believe that the future of software will be driven by a multitude of highly-specialized, platform-agnostic modules rather than monoliths.
