+# Getting Started
+
+A base rom of Pokémon Red is required to assemble **pokered.gbc**.
+
+	Pokemon Red (UE) [S][!].gb
+	(MD5: 3d45c1ee9abd5738df46d2bdda8b57dc)
+
+
+# Linux
+
+Linux dependencies. OSX users already have these after installing Xcode.
+
+	sudo apt-get install make gcc bison git python python-setuptools
+
+
+Set up the **pokered** repository:
+
+	git clone git://github.com/iimarckus/pokered.git
+	cd pokered
+
+	./init.sh
+
+Copy the Pokémon Red rom to this directory. Name it **baserom.gbc**.
+
+Now **pokered.gbc** can be built from source.
+
+	make red
+
+This should take about 10-15 seconds. Subsequent builds are faster.
+
+
+To build Pokémon Blue:
+
+	make blue
+
+
+# OSX
+
+Download and install **Xcode**. Then follow the Linux instructions.
+
+
+# Windows
