 # Build Vikunja from source
 
-Vikunja being a go application, has no other dependencies than go itself. 
-All libraries are bundeled inside the repo in the `vendor/` folder, so all it boils down to are these steps:
+To completely build Vikunja from source, you need to build the api and frontend.

+
+## API
+
+The Vikunja API has no other dependencies than go itself. 
+That means compiling it boils down to these steps:
 
 1. Make sure [Go](https://golang.org/doc/install) is properly installed on your system. You'll need at least Go `1.17`.
 2. Make sure [Mage](https://magefile) is properly installed on your system.
-3. Clone the repo with `git clone https://code.vikunja.io/api`
+3. Clone the repo with `git clone https://code.vikunja.io/api` and switch into the directory.
 3. Run `mage build:build` in the source of this repo. This will build a binary in the root of the repo which will be able to run on your system.
 
 *Note:* Static ressources such as email templates are built into the binary.
 For these to work, you may need to run `mage build:generate` before building the vikunja binary.
 When builing entirely with `mage`, you dont need to do this, `mage build:generate` will be run automatically when running `mage build:build`.
 
-# Build for different architectures
+### Build for different architectures
 
 To build for other platforms and architectures than the one you're currently on, simply run `mage release:release` or `mage release:{linux|windows|darwin}`.

+## Frontend
+
+The code for the frontend is located at [code.vikunja.io/frontend](https://code.vikunja.io/frontend).
+
+You need to have yarn v1 and nodejs in version 16 installed.
+
+1. Make sure [yarn v1](https://yarnpkg.com/getting-started/install) is properly installed on your system.
+3. Clone the repo with `git clone https://code.vikunja.io/frontend` and switch into the directory.
+3. Install all dependencies with `yarn install`
+4. Build the frontend with `yarn build`. This will result in a js bundle in the `dist/` folder which you can deploy.
