+# Getting Started with Contributing
+
+
+**Step 1:** Fork the repository
+
+**Step 2:** Clone the forked repository to your local machine with 
+```
+git clone https://github.com/postmanlabs/newman-dashboard
+```
+
+## Usage
+
+This package is mono-repo for the reporter and the dashboard package. The dashboard package takes care of launching the dashboard, while the reporter connects to Newman.
+
+
+A. For installation:
+```
+cd reporter
+npm pack
+npm i -g newman-reporter-dashboard.<version>.tgz
+```
+
+```
+npm i -g newman-reporter-dashboard-0.0.1.tgz
+```
+B. Building the frontend:
+```
+npm run build
+```
+
+C. Launch the dashboard on `localhost:5001`
+
+```
+cd dashboard
+node bin/index.js
+```
+or, Launch the dashboard in dev mode:
+```
+npm run dev:dashboard
+```
+
+You can also choose to daemonize the dashboard using the `--daemonize` flag.
+
+The dashboard frontend would now be visible on `http://localhost:5001/`
+
+D. Connect a newman run to the dashboard
+
+```
+newman run collection.json -r dashboard
+```
+This will connect the run to the dashboard and you would be able to view its status on the frontend.
+
+E. Run file with Newman
+
+```
+cd /path/to/newman
+npm link
+npm link newman-reporter-dashboard
+
+bin/newman.js run -r dashboard collection.json
+
+```
