 ### Seismic library for geophysical processing
 
 This is a learn-by-doing project
-to reacquaint myself with the C Programming Language and my geophysical background.
+to reacquaint myself with the C/C++, geophysics, and binding with Python.
 
 ## Getting Started
 
-...
+### Prerequisites
+
+- CMake
+- C++ compiler (e.g., g++, clang++)
+- Python > 3.12
+- Python development headers
+    - On Debian/Ubuntu: `sudo apt-get install python3-dev`
+    - On Fedora: `sudo dnf install python3-devel`
+    - On macOS: `brew install python`
+- [uv](https://docs.astral.sh/uv/) for python project management
+
+### Building the Library
+
+1. Clone the repo
+2. Navigate to the project directory
+3. Create a virtual environment (optional but recommended)
+   ```shell
+   uv venv
+   source .venv/bin/activate
+   ```
+4. Build and install the project
+   ```shell
+    uv sync
+    ```
+5. Run the Python tests
+
+   With the virtual environment activated, libseis should be installed and available.
+
+    ```shell
+    pytest
+    ```
+6. Run the C++ tests
+    ```shell
+    cd build
+    ctest
+    ```
