 * Anyone can clone this guide from http://hg.python.org/devguide/.  Core
   developers should use ssh://hg@hg.python.org/devguide instead, so that they
   can push back their edits to the server.
+
+  In order to clone the repository use this command:
+  ``hg clone http://hg.python.org/devguide``
+
+  You will need sphinx-build. This is available on Debian systems as:
+  ``sudo apt-get install python-sphinx``
+
+  You can then type: make html. All html files will be located in the _build/html directory. You will want to edit .rst files and then later check the html for it.
