+Dev Setup
+=========
+
+# ArtCraft 
+
+ArtCraft is a Rust / Tauri app.
+
+To set up the ArtCraft development environment,  install the following:
+
+1. [Install Rust](https://doc.rust-lang.org/cargo/getting-started/installation.html).
+2. [Install npm](https://nodejs.org/en/download) or [nvm](https://github.com/nvm-sh/nvm).
+3. [Install nx](https://nx.dev/docs/getting-started/installation). 
+4. [Install Tauri CLI](https://v2.tauri.app/reference/cli/).
+
+An easy way to get started with running the app in development is to run the two commands (in separate terminals):
+
+```bash
+# Run the frontend dev server
+./script/artcraft/unix_frontend_dev.sh
+
+# Run the Tauri Rust application
+./script/artcraft/unix_rust_dev.sh
+```
+
+# ArtCraft Server
+
+ArtCraft's server is a Rust / Actix app called `storyteller-web`.
+
+It can function entirely within the development environment, and ArtCraft can be pointed to a 
+local instance of the server.
+
+**TODO**: Concisely describe setting up server components. Note: we have 
+previous docs in `old/` that may still be relevant, though they're perhaps
+slightly out of date.
