 ## Run It On Your Machine
 
+### Managing Dependencies
+
+It may be the case that your system doesn't have the required dependencies. You will need 'cmake' and 'make' installed on your computer. 
+
+* For MacOS, use homebrew to update your dependencies (Install Homebrew from [here](https://brew.sh/)):
+```bash
+brew install make cmake
+```
+* For Linux/Ubuntu, use the apt-get tool to install the dependencies:
+```bash
+sudo apt-get install make cmake
+```
+
+### Installing and Running the tool
+
+Note that the third command (./script/bootstrap) may require you to use 'sudo' access for installation. Add 'sudo' right before the third command, if need be, but don't use root access.
+
 ```bash
 git clone https://github.com/github/choosealicense.com.git
 cd choosealicense.com
