+## Running documentation locally
+
+For development purposes you can run and test documentation locally.
+This is useful when working in different branches instead of a `master` one.
+
+Run the following command once to install the lightweight development server:
+
+```sh
+npm install -g wsrv
+```
+
+Run the following command to serve the documentation folder and open in the default browser:
+
+```sh
+wsrv docs/ -s -l -o
+```
+
+The browser page is going to automatically reload upon changes.
