+Building Symple Slicer Desktop
+------------------------------
+
+To build the Electron desktop app, install node.js on your machine then:
+
+```
+git clone [email protected]:SynDaverCO/symple-slicer.git
+cd symple-slicer
+git submodule update --init
+npm install
+```
+
+To run:
+
+```
+npm start
+```
+
+To build all distributibles:
+
+```
+npm run package-win
+npm run package-mac
+npm run package-linux
+npm run installer-win
+```
+
+Distributables will be stored in the `dist` directory.
+
+
+Building Symple Slicer Web
+--------------------------
+
+Building the web version of Symple Slicer relies on UNIX shell
+scripts. Under Windows, you may want to use WSL version 1.
+
+There is a bug in Chromium where WebGL will fail to start
+if the files are hosted in a network drive, as is the case
+for the native WSL Linux file system. Because of this, it is
+necessary to checkout the files into a Windows native drive
+using the regular windows command prompt (see steps above),
+then from within WSL create a symlink to that location:
+
+```
+ln -s /mnt/c/Users/USERNAME/Documents/symple-slicer
+cd symple-slicer
+```
+
+To run a web server on localhost serving the app:
+
+```
+./run-local-host.sh
+```
+
+To rebuild the Cura Engine from source:
+
+```
+./build-cura-engine.sh
+```
+
+To create a web release of Symple Slicer:
+
+```
+./build-web-release.sh
+```
+
+
