+### Bootstrapping FFmpeg
+
+When working on the project locally, you can either use a global instance of FFmpeg (i.e. found on the system's `PATH`) or a local instance (found in the project directory).
+To use a local instance, place the corresponding `ffmpeg` (or `ffmpeg.exe`) file inside the `YoutubeDownloader/` project directory.
+You can also automatically download FFmpeg for your current platform by running the `DownloadFFmpeg.ps1` PowerShell script.
