+Running a local copy
+--------------------
+
+First off: you will need MongoDB (www.mongodb.org).  They have a [quickstart guide](http://www.mongodb.org/display/DOCS/Quickstart) for getting it installed and running.
+
+Then do the same as above:
+
+    $ git clone https://github.com/hotsh/rstat.us.git (or your own fork, if applicable)
+    $ cd rstat.us
+
+Copy the config file; if you have actual Twitter API keys, you can add yours, but this file just needs to exist for the server to work.
+
+    $ cp config.yml.sample config.yml
+
+Then update your gemset:
+
+    $ gem install bundler && bundle install
+
+And instead of using heroku, start the server with sinatra:
+
+    $ rackup
