+## Bootstrapping
+
+Before being able to run the app, you will need to bootstrap the workspace dependencies linked by yarn. This can be done using the command `yarn bootstrap`.
+
 ## Development server
 
 Run `ng serve` for a dev server. Navigate to `http://localhost:4200/`. The app will automatically reload if you change any of the source files.

 Run `ng e2e` to execute the end-to-end tests via [Protractor](http://www.protractortest.org/).
 Before running the tests make sure you are serving the app via `ng serve`.
 
+## Using the folder as a standalone
+
+The versions included in `package.json` for the `@angular-redux` dependencies are linked using **yarn workspaces** and will need to be changed to a _latest_ or _next_ version if you want to detach the app as a standalone.

 ## Further help
 
 To get more help on the Angular CLI use `ng help` or go check out the [Angular CLI README](https://github.com/angular/angular-cli/blob/master/README.md).
