+Create the database. These instructions assume that PostgreSQL is
+running on localhost, and that its user is "commcarehq". Adapt
+accordingly:
+```bash
+$ createdb -h localhost -p 5432 -U commcarehq superset_meta
+```
+
+Set the following environment variables:
+```bash
+$ export FLASK_APP=superset
+$ export SUPERSET_CONFIG_PATH=/path/to/superset_config.py
+```
+
+Initialize the database. Create an administrator. Create default roles
+and permissions:
+```bash
+$ superset db upgrade
+$ superset fab create-admin
+$ superset load_examples  # (Optional)
+$ superset init
+```
+You may skip `superset load_examples`, although they could be useful.

+You should now be able to run superset using the `superset run` command:
+```bash
+$ superset run -p 8088 --with-threads --reload --debugger

+However, OAuth login does not work yet as hq-superset needs a Postgres
+database created to store CommCare HQ data.
 
 
 ### Create a Postgres Database Connection for storing HQ data
 
-- Create a Postgres database
-- Login to superset as the admin user created in the Superset installation and initialization. Note that you will need to update `AUTH_TYPE = AUTH_DB` to login as admin user. `AUTH_TYPE` should be otherwise set to `AUTH_OAUTH`.
+- Create a Postgres database. e.g.

+  installation and initialization. Note that you will need to update
+  `AUTH_TYPE = AUTH_DB` to log in as admin user. `AUTH_TYPE` should be
+  otherwise set to `AUTH_OAUTH`.
 - Go to 'Data' -> 'Databases' or http://127.0.0.1:8088/databaseview/list/
-- Create a Database connection by clicking '+ DATABASE' button at the top.

 ### Testing
 
 Tests use pytest, which is included in `requirements_dev.txt`:
 
-    $ pip install -r requirements_dev.txt
+    $ pip install -r requirements_test.txt
     $ pytest
 
 The test runner can only run tests that do not import from Superset. The
