+# Instructions
+
+## Building the project
+
+We use cabal to build our project, potentially inside a Nix shell (nix develop or nix-shell). It should suffice with:
+```bash
+> cabal build dmq-node
 ```
 
-# Instructions
+The executable can be run with:
+```bash
+> cabal run dmq-node
+```
+
+## Testing the project
 
-TODO
+To run the test suite, one can use:
+
+``` bash
+> cabal test all
+```
