-on debian, you will need:
-$ sudo apt-get install curl git-core pandoc yui-compressor
+If you are building the widget set, as opposed to just using it, you
+will need the following Debian packages (or their equivalents on your
+operating system):
+
+$ sudo apt-get install curl git pandoc yui-compressor libbsd-resource-perl
+
+You also need Node.js, but unfortunately the node-js package is not
+available for Debian wheezy. You can either get it from
+wheezy-backports or download the source from
+http://nodejs.org/download/ and build it yourself. You need node and
+npm, its package manager: make install puts them into /usr/local/bin.
+
+To compile the default templates you'll need to install the stable version
+of Handlebars. Currently it's at 2.0.0 and available by npm:
+
+ npm install handlebars@2.0.0 -g
+
