Document pre-requisites for development (#18)

The `README` doesn't explicitly tell users about what other

+# Setup
+
+1. Install JDK 17 for building this project. We recommend [Eclipse Adoptium](https://adoptium.net/)
+
+1. Install [Semgrep](https://semgrep.dev/) CLI. See
+   [here](https://semgrep.dev/docs/getting-started/#installing-and-running-semgrep-locally)
+   for instructions. It can usually be done via `pip`:
+   ```shell
+   pip install semgrep
+   ```
+
+If your Python library paths contain your home directory as a root folder (i.e.
+due to the use of the `$HOME` environment variable), you may need to manually
+set up your `PYTHONPATH` for tests:
+
+```shell
+PYTHONPATH=$HOME/<subpath-to-python-libs-folder> ./gradlew check
+```
+
+You can check your python paths with:
+
+```shell
+python -m site
+```
+
 # Testing
 
 ```bash
