 The server is currently implemented as a daemon (see `scripts/joinmarketd.py`), in future
 it may be convenient to create the option to run it within the same process as the client.

+This is a WIP.

+To install everything (client and server), install these packages:
+
+sudo apt-get install python-dev python-pip git build-essential
+automake pkg-config libtool libffi-dev libssl-dev
+
+(+ libsodium-dev if you can find it, else build after)
+
+(to build libsodium after):
+
+    git clone git://github.com/jedisct1/libsodium.git

+    git checkout tags/1.0.4

-Test instructions and test scripts: todo.
+#####Test instructions (for developers):
+
+This is a rough sketch, some more background is found in [JM wiki](https://github.com/Joinmarket-Org/joinmarket/wiki/Testing)
+
+Make sure to have bitcoind installed. Also need miniircd installed to the root dir:
+
+    git clone https://github.com/Joinmarket-Org/miniircd
+
+Install the test requirements (still in your virtualenv as mentioned above):
+
+    pip install -r requirements-dev.txt
+
+Curl is also needed:
+
+    sudo apt-get install curl
+
+Running the test suite should be done like:
+
+    python -m py.test --cov=jmclient --cov=jmbitcoin --cov=jmbase --cov=jmdaemon --cov-report html --btcroot=/path/to/bitcoin/bin/ --btcpwd=123456abcdef --btcconf=/path/to/bitcoin.conf --nirc=2
+    
+(you'll first want to copy bitcoin.conf in the test/ directory to a place you choose, and
+copy the regtest_joinmarket.cfg file from the test/ directory to the root directory,
+both files will need minor edits for your btc configuration)
