 You need the following installed on your development machine:
 
-* [git](https://git-scm.com/downloads)
-* Node.js and npm. Minimum version Node 20. You can find instructions on how to install both using nvm (Node Version Manager) for Linux, Mac, and WSL [here](https://github.com/nvm-sh/nvm). For Windows users, refer to Microsoft's guide to [Install NodeJS on Windows](https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/dev-environment/javascript/nodejs-on-windows).
-* Install n8n with:
+* Docker and Docker Compose
+* NodeJS and npm
+
+Once you have cloned the repository:
+
+* Execute:
   ```
-  npm install n8n -g
+  npm i
   ```
-* Recommended: follow n8n's guide to [set up your development environment](https://docs.n8n.io/integrations/creating-nodes/build/node-development-environment/).
+
+To run the local n8n instance:
+
+* Execute:
+  ```
+  docker compose up -d
+  ```
+  Now, n8n will run on http://localhost:5678.
+
+When changes are made to the custom node code and you want to test it on the local instance:
+
+* There is a script file called deploy-node.sh. Once executed, it will build the custom node code and deploy the Docker container. This file requires a few changes depending on the name that Docker gives to the container and the volumes:
+
+  * On line 24 of the script, you will see this line:
+    ```
+    TARGET_DIR="/var/lib/docker/volumes/n8n-self-hosted_n8n_data/_data/custom/$PACKAGE_NAME"
+    ```
+  
+  * Depending on the container volume name, "n8n-self-hosted_n8n_data" needs to be changed. To check the volume's name, execute:
+
+    ```
+    docker volume ls
+    ```
+
+  * On lines 56 and 59, "n8n-self-hosted-n8n-1" must be changed to match the name of the container for the n8n instance.
+
+  * Once these changes are made, execute the script:
+    ```
+    ./deploy-node.sh
+    ```
