-**PhotoPrism is still under development. Your welcome to join our team.**
+PhotoPrism is a free tool for managing large amounts of
+JPEG and RAW photos. All data is intentionally stored in the file system for easy
+backup and reliable long-term accessibility.
 
-Our goal is to provide a free software for managing large amounts of
-JPEG and RAW photos on your own server. Images are stored in the file
-systems for easy backups and reliable long-term accessibility.
+**Note: This software is still pre-alpha and under active development.
+You're welcome to join our team.**

+Unit Tests
+----------
+
+Tests are currently not running on Travis CI as they require
+docker container configuration that is still on the todo list. We
+will provide a testing guide once everything is up and running.
+
+Dependencies
+------------
+We are using [dep](https://github.com/golang/dep) for dependency management:
+
+```
+dep ensure
+go test
+```
+
+In addition, PhotoPrism requires [darktable](https://www.darktable.org/) to convert RAW images to JPEG.
+We are working on a docker container that contains it so that you don't have to install it locally.
