+# Development
+
+This page relates to developing the `@excalidraw/excalidraw` package itself.
+
+## Example app
+
+To start the example app using the `@excalidraw/excalidraw` package, follow the below steps:
+
+1. Install the dependencies
+
+   ```bash
+   yarn
+   ```
+
+2. Start the example app
+
+   ```bash
+   yarn start:example
+   ```
+
+   [http://localhost:3001](http://localhost:3001) will open in your default browser.
+   
+   This is the same example as the [CodeSandbox](https://codesandbox.io/p/sandbox/github/excalidraw/excalidraw/tree/master/examples/with-script-in-browser) example.
+
+## Releasing
+
+### Create a test release
+
+You can create a test release by posting the below comment in your pull request:
+
+```bash
+@excalibot trigger release
+```
+
+Once the version is released `@excalibot` will post a comment with the release version.
+
+### Creating a production release
+
+To release the next stable version follow the below steps:
+
+```bash
+yarn prerelease:excalidraw
+```
+
+You need to pass the `version` for which you want to create the release. This will make the changes needed before making the release like updating `package.json`, `changelog` and more.
+
+The next step is to run the `release` script:
+
+```bash
+yarn release:excalidraw
+```
+
+This will publish the package.
+
+Right now there are two steps to create a production release but once this works fine these scripts will be combined and more automation will be done.
