+### Instructions
+
+* In order to start the backend, you need to execute 'run' or 'run.bat' depending on your OS
+* Otherwise, you can call `pm2 stop all` / `pm2 restart all` should you encounter critical errors
+* Specify which branch you want to update for submodule in .gitmodules and update it with
+```git submodule update --remote```
+
+* Helpful commands
+```$./run```
+```$./stop```
+
+* * To then restart the server again, type:
+```$pm2 reload all```
+
+* * If you want to bring the server logs back on-line to check them after hitting control-c, type:
+```$pm2 logs all```
+
+* * If you want the server to run on system startup (tested on Unix based OS) type:
+```$./persist```
+
+* * Make sure the submodule is up-to-date
+```$git submodule foreach git pull origin master```
+
+Note: the server keys do not work / security is not compromised via these stale keys.
