 This is a quick introduction to get new developers and witnesses up to speed on Peerplays blockchain. It is intended for witnesses plannig to join a live, already deployed blockchain.
 
+# Using setup.sh to install prebuilt packages & compile dependencies
+
+The following script can be used to install debian packages of the following:
+- witness_node (1.5.19, and 1.5.22-alpha)
+- cli_wallet (1.5.19, and 1.5.22-alpha)
+- libbitcoin libraries (required for witness_node & cli_wallet runtimes)
+
+The script also gives the option to build some of the other dependencies from source, these dependencies are:
+- libboost 1.72.0
+- libzmq 4.3.4
+- cppzmq 4.9.0
+- witness_node (COMING SOON)
+- cli_wallet (COMING SOON)
+
+## The script can be downloaded as follows
+
+Note: Ensure you verify the sha256 checksum to ensure the script has not been interfered with
+
+# Cloning this git repository:
+
+## Grab the repository
+```
+git clone https://gitlab.com/pbsa/peerplays.git
+cd peerplays
+```
+
+## Verify the checksum
+```
+wget https://peerplays.download/downloads/scripts/setup.sh.sha256
+sha256sum -c setup.sh.sha256
+```
+
+## Output of verifying the checksum should be as follows
+```
+setup.sh: OK
+```
+
+```
+chmod +x setup.sh
+./setup.sh
+```
+
+# Downloading directly without git:
+
+```
+wget https://peerplays.download/downloads/scripts/setup.sh
+wget https://peerplays.download/downloads/scripts/setup.sh.sha256
+sha256sum -c setup.sh.sha256
+chmod +x setup.sh
