+### Clone the Source
 
 ```bash
 # Clone the repo to your local environment
 git clone https://github.com/geojupyter/jupytergis.git
+
 # Change directory to the jupytergis directory
 cd jupytergis
-# Install package in development mode
+```
+
+### Create a Virtual Environment
+
+#### Micromamba (Recommended)
+
+```bash
+# Create a virtual environment
+micromamba create --name jupytergis_dev -c conda-forge pip "nodejs<22" qgis
+
+# Activate it
+micromamba activate jupytergis_dev
+```
+
+#### Plain Python
+
+> **Note**
+> You may need to install some non-Python dependencies (e.g., QGIS, Node.js) separately when using this method.
+
+```bash
+# Create a virtual environment
+python -m venv .venv
+
+# Activate it
+source .venv/bin/activate
+```
+
+### Install Dependencies and Build
+
+```bash
+# Install packages in development mode.
+# WARNING: This step may hang indefinitely due to a bug in Nx. See troubleshooting below.
 python scripts/dev-install.py
+
+# Rebuild extension Typescript source after making changes
+jlpm run build
+```
+
+> **Note**
+> By default, the `jlpm run build` command generates the source maps for this extension to make it easier to debug using the browser dev tools.
+> To also generate source maps for the JupyterLab core extensions, you can run the following command:
+
+```bash
+jupyter lab build --minimize=False
 ```
 
+### Watch for Changes and Rebuild
+
 You can watch the source directory and run JupyterLab at the same time in different terminals to watch for changes in the extension's source and automatically rebuild the extension.
 
 ```bash
 # Watch the source directory in one terminal, automatically rebuilding when needed
 jlpm run watch
 
-# Alternatively, you can run the following after each TypeScript code change
-jlpm run build:dev
-
 # Run JupyterLab in another terminal
 jupyter lab
 ```
 
-With the watch command running, every saved change will immediately be built locally and available in your running JupyterLab. Refresh JupyterLab to load the change in your browser (you may need to wait several seconds for the extension to be rebuilt).

+## Code Quality
+
+We have several tools configured for checking code quality:
+
+- **Pre-commit checks** run automatically at commit time.
+  Install checks with:
+
+  ```bash
+  pre-commit install
+  ```
+
+  Run them manually with:
+
+  ```bash
+  pre-commit run --all-files
+  ```
+
+  - `Ruff` formats and lints (sometimes autofixes) Python code.
+  - Generic pre-commit checks help avoid common mistakes like committing large files or trailing whitespace.
+
+- **Package scripts** (defined in `package.json`) to check (and/or fix) TypeScript, JavaScript, CSS, JSON, Markdown, and YAML.
+  Run manually with:
+
+  ```bash
+  jlpm run lint
+  ```
+
+  - `Prettier` formats the file types listed above.
+  - `Eslint` lints (sometimes autofixes) JS/TS code.
+
+## Troubleshooting
 
-### Packaging the extension
+- **Setup of development environment hangs indefinitely** when running the `dev-install.py` step, specifically on the Yarn linking step.
 
-See [RELEASE](RELEASE.md)
+  - This may be caused by having a `.gitignore` file in your home directory.
+    This is a [known issue with Nx](https://github.com/nrwl/nx/issues/27494).
+    The [only known workaround](https://github.com/nrwl/nx/issues/27494#issuecomment-2481207598) is to remove the `.gitignore` file from your home directory or to work in a location outside of the home directory tree.
