+Please note we have a [code of conduct](https://www.contributor-covenant.org/version/2/0/code_of_conduct/), please follow it in all your interactions with the project.
+
+# Environment Setup
+
+This repository makes use of the [SASjs](https://sasjs.io) framework for code organisation, compilation, documentation, and deployment.  The following tools are highly recommended:
+
+* [NPM](https://sasjs.io/windows/#npm) - the runtime and dependency manager for [SASjs CLI](https://cli.sasjs.io) (batteries included)
+* [VSCode](https://sasjs.io/windows/#vscode) - feature packed IDE for code editing (warning - highly effective!)
+* [GIT](https://sasjs.io/windows/#git) - a safety net you cannot (and should not) do without.
+
+For generating the documentation (`sasjs doc`) it is also necessary to install [doxygen](https://www.doxygen.nl/manual/install.html).
 
 
-## Code of Conduct
+To get configured:
 
-### Our Pledge
+1.  Clone the repository
+2.  Install local dependencies (`npm install`)
+3.  Install the SASjs CLI globally (`npm install -g @sasjs/cli`)
+4.  Add a target, and authentication (`npm add`).  See [docs](https://cli.sasjs.io/add/).
 
-In the interest of fostering an open and welcoming environment, we as
-contributors and maintainers pledge to making participation in our project and
-our community a harassment-free experience for everyone, regardless of age, body
-size, disability, ethnicity, gender identity and expression, level of experience,
-nationality, personal appearance, race, religion, or sexual identity and
-orientation.
+To contribute:
 
-### Our Standards
+1.  Create your feature branch (`git checkout -b myfeature`)
+2.  Make your change
+3.  Update the `all.sas` file (`python3 build.py`)
+4.  Push and make a PR
 
-Examples of behavior that contributes to creating a positive environment
-include:
-
-* Using welcoming and inclusive language
-* Being respectful of differing viewpoints and experiences
-* Gracefully accepting constructive criticism
-* Focusing on what is best for the community
-* Showing empathy towards other community members
-
-Examples of unacceptable behavior by participants include:
-
-* Trolling, insulting/derogatory comments, and personal or political attacks
-* Public or private harassment
-* Publishing others' private information, such as a physical or electronic
-  address, without explicit permission
-* Other conduct which could reasonably be considered inappropriate in a
-  professional setting
-
-### Our Responsibilities
-
-Project maintainers are responsible for clarifying the standards of acceptable
-behavior and are expected to take appropriate and fair corrective action in
-response to any instances of unacceptable behavior.
-
-Project maintainers have the right and responsibility to remove, edit, or
-reject comments, commits, code, wiki edits, issues, and other contributions
-that are not aligned to this Code of Conduct, or to ban temporarily or
-permanently any contributor for other behaviors that they deem inappropriate,
-threatening, offensive, or harmful.
-
-### Scope
-
-This Code of Conduct applies both within project spaces and in public spaces
-when an individual is representing the project or its community. Examples of
-representing a project or community include using an official project e-mail
-address, posting via an official social media account, or acting as an appointed
-representative at an online or offline event. Representation of a project may be
-further defined and clarified by project maintainers.
-
-### Enforcement
-
-Instances of abusive, harassing, or otherwise unacceptable behavior may be
-reported by contacting the project team at support@macropeople.com. All
-complaints will be reviewed and investigated and will result in a response that
-is deemed necessary and appropriate to the circumstances. The project team is
-obligated to maintain confidentiality with regard to the reporter of an incident.
-Further details of specific enforcement policies may be posted separately.
-
-Project maintainers who do not follow or enforce the Code of Conduct in good
-faith may face temporary or permanent repercussions as determined by other
-members of the project's leadership.

+Wait - this is a macro library - what is LUA doing here?  Well, it is a little known fact that you CAN run LUA within a SAS Macro.  It has to be written to a text file with a `.lua` extension, from where you can `%include` it.  So, without using the `proc lua` wrapper.
+
+To contribute, simply write your freeform LUA in the LUA folder.  Then run the `build.py`, which will convert your LUA into a data step with put statements, and create the macro wrapper with a `ml_` prefix.  You can then use your module in any program by running:
+
+```
+/* compile the lua module */
+%ml_yourmodule()
+
+/* Execute.  Do not use the restart keyword! */
+proc lua;
+submit;

+All macros must be commented in the doxygen format, to enable the [online documentation](https://core.sasjs.io).
+
+### Dependencies
+SAS code can contain one of two types of dependency - SAS Macros, and SAS Programs.  When compiling projects using the [SASjs CLI](https://cli.sasjs.io) the doxygen header is scanned for `  @li` items under the following headers:
+
+```sas
+  <h4> SAS Macros </h4>
+  @li mf_nobs.sas
+  @li mm_assignlib.sas
+
+  <h4> SAS Programs </h4>
+  @li somefile.ddl SOMEFREF
+  @li someprogram.sas FREFTWO
+```
+
+The CLI can then extract all the dependencies and insert as precode (SAS Macros) or in a temp engine fileref (SAS Programs) when creating SAS Jobs and Services.
+
+When contributing to this library, it is therefore important to ensure that all dependencies are listed in the header in this format.
+
 
 ## Coding Standards
 
 - Indentation = 2 spaces. No tabs!
+- no trailing white space
+- no invisible characters, other than spaces. If invisibles are needed, use hex literals.
 - Macro variables should not have the trailing dot (`&var` not `&var.`) unless necessary to prevent incorrect resolution
-- The closing `%mend;` should not contain the macro name.
+- The closing `%mend;` should **not** contain the macro name.
 - All macros should be defined with brackets, even if no variables are needed - ie `%macro x();` not `%macro x;`
 - Mandatory parameters should be positional, all optional parameters should be keyword (var=) style.
 - All dataset references must be 2 level (eg `work.blah`, not `blah`). This is to avoid contention when options [DATASTMTCHK](https://support.sas.com/documentation/cdl/en/lrdict/64316/HTML/default/viewer.htm#a000279064.htm)=ALLKEYWORDS is in effect.
 - Avoid naming collisions! All macro variables should be local scope. Use system generated work tables where possible - eg `data ; set sashelp.class; run; data &output; set &syslast; run;`
+- The use of `quit;` for `proc sql` is optional unless you are looking to benefit from the timing statistics.

+
+  Take the log output and paste it into the renderer at https://dbdiagram.io

+  the one to one and one to many relationships (based on constraints
+  and indexes, and assuming that the column names would match).
