+The following document is a step-by-step guide to run BWS.
 
+### Prerequisites
+Ensure MongoDB (2.6+) is installed and running. This document assumes that mongod is running at the default port 27017.
+See the configuration section to configure a different host/port.
+
+### Install BWS from NPM
+Use the following steps to Install BWS from the npmjs repository and run it with defaults.
+```bash
+npm install bitcore-wallet-service
+cd bitcore-wallet-service
+```
+To change configuration before running, see the Configuration section.
+```bash
+npm start
+```
+
+### Install BWS from github source
+Use the following steps to Install BWS from github source and run it with defaults.
+```bash
+git clone https://github.com/bitpay/bitcore-wallet-service.git
+cd bitcore-wallet-service
+npm install
+```
+To change configuration before running, see the Configuration section.
+```bash
+npm start
+```
+### Configuration
 Configuration for all required modules can be specified in https://github.com/bitpay/bitcore-wallet-service/blob/master/config.js
 
+BWS is composed of 5 separate node services -
+Locker - locker/locker.js
+Message Broker - messagebroker/messagebroker.js
+Blockchain Monitor - bcmonitor/bcmonitor.js (This service talks to the Blockchain Explorer service configured under blockchainExplorerOpts - see Configure blockchain service below.)
+Email Service - emailservice/emailservice.js
+Bitcore Wallet Service - bws.js
