+Installed git, curl, and unzip
+```bash
+sudo apt install git curl unzip
+```
+git and curl were already pre-installed with their latest available versions.

+```bash
+git clone https://github.com/asdf-vm/asdf.git ~/.asdf --branch v0.14.0
+```
+
+Set up asdf in bashrc:
+```bash
+echo '
+. "$HOME/.asdf/asdf.sh"
+. "$HOME/.asdf/completions/asdf.bash"' >> ~/.bashrc
+```
+
+Add asdf plugins for elixir and erlang:
+```bash
+asdf plugin-add elixir https://github.com/asdf-vm/asdf-elixir.git
+asdf plugin add erlang https://github.com/asdf-vm/asdf-erlang.git
+```
+
+Install dependencies for erlang install:
+```bash
+sudo apt-get -y install build-essential autoconf m4 libncurses5-dev libwxgtk3.0-gtk3-dev libwxgtk-webview3.0-gtk3-dev libgl1-mesa-dev libglu1-mesa-dev libpng-dev libssh-dev unixodbc-dev xsltproc fop libxml2-utils libncurses-dev openjdk-11-jdk
+```
+
+Install elixir and erlang versions tracked in project (must be done from root of project)
+```bash
+asdf install
+```
+
+Get and compile local elixir dependencies (say yes to prompts for additional installs):
+```bash
+mix deps.get
+mix deps.compile
+```
+
+Install postgres:
+```bash
+sudo apt install postgresql
+```
+
+Set password for postgres user (account should have been created automatically by the apt install)
+```bash
+sudo passwd postgres
+```
+
+Start postgres service:
+```bash
+sudo service postgresql start
+```
+
+Set up `teiserver_dev` and `teiserver_test` accounts:
+```bash
+sudo su postgres
+psql postgres postgres <<EOF
+CREATE USER teiserver_dev WITH PASSWORD '123456789';
+CREATE DATABASE teiserver_dev;
+GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON DATABASE teiserver_dev to teiserver_dev;
+ALTER USER teiserver_dev WITH SUPERUSER;
+
+CREATE USER teiserver_test WITH PASSWORD '123456789';
+CREATE DATABASE teiserver_test;
+GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON DATABASE teiserver_test to teiserver_test;
+ALTER USER teiserver_test WITH SUPERUSER;
+EOF
+exit
+```
+
+Create the database schema for the teiserver application:
+```bash
+mix ecto.create
+```
+ecto.create docs: https://hexdocs.pm/ecto/Mix.Tasks.Ecto.Create.html
+ecto_repos is configured in [config/config.exs][./config/config.exs]
+
+Create some self signed SSL certs for the local server to run with
+```bash
+mkdir -p priv/certs
+cd priv/certs
+openssl dhparam -out dh-params.pem 2048
+openssl req -x509 -out localhost.crt -keyout localhost.key \
+  -newkey rsa:2048 -nodes -sha256 \
+  -subj '/CN=localhost' -extensions EXT -config <( \
+   printf "[dn]\nCN=localhost\n[req]\ndistinguished_name = dn\n[EXT]\nsubjectAltName=DNS:localhost\nkeyUsage=digitalSignature\nextendedKeyUsage=serverAuth")
+cd ../..
+```
+
+Install `sass` for CSS generation
+```bash
+mix sass.install
+```
+
+Cretae fake data for the server to start with
+```bash
+mix teiserver.fakedata
+```
+
+Download [fontawesome 5](https://fontawesome.com/v5/download) data and place it in the expected locations:
+```bash
+curl -o font-awesome.zip https://use.fontawesome.com/releases/v6.5.1/fontawesome-free-6.5.1-web.zip
+unzip font-awesome.zip
+mv fontawesome-free-6.5.1-web/css/all.css priv/static/css/fontawesome.css
+mv fontawesome-free-6.5.1-web/webfonts/ priv/static/webfonts
+rm font-awesome.zip
+rm -rf fontawesome-free-6.5.1-web
+```
+NOTE: This uses the free package of font awesome, so some of the icons on the website will be missing
+
+Start the server locally
+```bash
+mix phx.server
+```
+
+Now you can view the website running at http://localhost:4000. There is a default account with email `root@localhost` and password: `password`
