+# **Development**
+
+When working on the patcher, it is recommended you use an IDE.
+
+This is a Mono project, and was created using the MonoDevelop IDE. It should however be compatible with Visual Studio and VSCode (with the right extensions) as well.
+
+Here are instructions for setting up your development environment.
+
+## **Setting up the environment**
+
+**1.** Clone this repository to your local computer. At the time of writing, I have not yet configured external SSH access for this git instance, so you have to clone over HTTPS. The cloned directory will be referred to as `DevDir` from now on.
+
+**2.** Create a "target reference" directory to work against, this can be located anywhere and is just a regular folder. This will be referred to as `ReferenceDir` from now on. After creating it, copy all the content of `C:\Program Files\SafeExamBrowser\Application` to `ReferenceDir`.
+
+**3.** Download MonoMod. The project uses the [net452 release](https://github.com/MonoMod/MonoMod/releases/download/v22.07.31.01/MonoMod-22.07.31.01-net452.zip), I'm not sure if a different version will work. Extract the contents of the ZIP file and put it into your `ReferenceDir`.
+
+**4.** Open the `Directory.Build.props` file located in your `DevDir` and change the path to your `ReferenceDir`. Can be relative or absolute.
+
+**5.** Open your `DevDir` in your IDE and you're done! You have now set up your development environment.
