+## Tech stack used
+
+- uses TypeScript and NodeJS
+- yarn (as the package manager)
+
+## Setup locally
+
+1. Clone this repo to your local system
+2. Install the packages via `yarn install`
+3. Copy rename the `example.env` file to be named `.env`
+4. Update the `RPC_URL` variable to be the cluster URL of a supporting RPC provider
+
+If you have the Solana CLI installed locally: update the `LOCAL_PAYER_JSON_ABSPATH` environment
+variable to be the **_absolute path_** of your local testing wallet keypair JSON file.
+
+## Recommended flow to explore this repo
+
+After setting up locally, I recommend exploring the code of the following files (in order):
+
+- [`1.simpleTransaction.ts`](./scripts/1.simpleTransaction.ts)
+- [`2.complexTransaction.ts`](./scripts/2.complexTransaction.ts)
+- [`3.createTokenWithMetadata.ts`](./scripts/3.createTokenWithMetadata.ts)
+- [`4.mintTokens.ts`](./scripts/4.mintTokens.ts)
+- [`5.updateMetadata.ts`](./scripts/5.updateMetadata.ts)
+- [`6.createNFTs.ts`](./scripts/6.createNFTs.ts)
+
+After reviewing the code in each of these scripts, try running each in order.
+
+> **Note:** Running each of these scripts may save some various bits of data to a `.local_keys`
+> folder within this repo for use by the other scripts later in this ordered list. Therefore,
+> running them in a different order may result in them not working as written/desired. You have been
+> warned :)
+
+### Running the included Scripts
+
+Once setup locally, you will be able to run the scripts included within this repo:
+
+```
+yarn demo ./scripts/<script>
+```

+Demonstrates how to create a SPL token and store it's metadata on chain (using the Metaplex MetaData
+program)
