-# Running
+# Intro
+Documentation for JsonApiDotNetCore is produced using [DocFX](https://dotnet.github.io/docfx/) from several files in this directory.
+In addition, the example request/response pairs are generated by executing `curl` commands against the GettingStarted project.
 
+# Installation
+Run the following commands once to setup your system:
+```
+choco install docfx -y
+```
+```
+npm install -g httpserver
+```
+
+# Running
+The next command regenerates the documentation website and opens it in your default browser:
 ```
-./generate.sh
-docfx ./docfx.json --serve
+pwsh ./build-dev.ps1
 ```
