+Build BaasBox
+-------------
+### Prerequisites
+To build BaasBox you need a JDK (not JRE!) (version 6 or above) ([download here](http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/downloads/index.html)) and the Play! Framework 2.0.4 ([download here](http://www.playframework.org/download))
+
+Once you will have installed the above software following their installation guides, you will be able to build BaasBox.
+
+Download the source code from [GitHub](https://github.com/baasbox/baasbox)
+
+### Build
+Go to your local BaasBox source code directory and type:
+
+`play dist`
+
+Play! will build BaasBox and will create a .zip file in the ./dist directory.
+
+The .zip file contains all that you need to run BaasBox.
+Unzip it, set the execution permission to the start.sh file and run it.
+If all worked properly, BaasBox will create a new database in the ./DB directory, and will start.
+
+To test it go to <http://www.localhost:9000>. The BaasBox should appear.
+
+To access to the **Admin Console Panel**, goto <http://www.localhost:9000/console>
+
+Default credentials are:
+
++ username: admin
++ passwrod: admin
