+**Building from source code requires Python 3.8+**
+
+Make sure to clone the right branch of the repository (`v3-beta`):
+
+```bash
+git clone -b v3-beta --single-branch https://github.com/bitfinexcom/bitfinex-api-py.git
+```
+
+### Installing the dependencies
+
+```bash
+python3 -m pip install -r requirements.txt
+```
+
+If you are willing to contribute to the project, you'll need the correct versions of [`pylint`](https://github.com/pylint-dev/pylint) and [`mypy`](https://github.com/python/mypy).
+
+You can get both by installing the dependencies in `dev-requirements.txt`:
+
+```bash
+python3 -m pip install -r dev-requirements.txt
+```
+
+### Optional steps
+
+1. [Testing (with unittest)](#testing-with-unittest)
+2. [Linting the project with pylint](#linting-the-project-with-pylint)
+3. [Using mypy to ensure correct type-hinting](#using-mypy-to-ensure-correct-type-hinting)
 
 ## Testing (with unittest)
 
+```bash
+python3 -m unittest -v bfxapi.tests
+```
