+## Installation
+1. Build the docker image. This will trigger a multistage docker build, building ffmpeg and nginx, and deploy the two on an alpine linux image. \
+` docker-compose build`
+2. Set the necessary environment variables (username, password, db addresses, etc).
+3. Bring up the two containers for the main server (lb) and the database(db). \
+` docker-compose up lb db`
+4. Exec into the lb container and run the server, either as a daemon or on a tmux session. \
+` docker exec -it vidiot_lb_l` \
+` cd vidiot ` \
+` ./scripts/start_all_tmux.sh`
+5. The video server should be running and can be attached to by issuing \
+` tmux a -t LB` \
+` tmux a -t O`
+6. A test suite is provided and can be run from inside the LB container. This will test a simple end to end flow. \
+` python tests/testSuite.py VidTest.test_simpleFlow`
