+## Running tests
+Tests are written in [Urchin](http://www.urchin.sh). Install Urchin like so.
+
+    wget -O /usr/local/bin https://raw.github.com/scraperwiki/urchin/master/urchin
+    chmod +x /usr/local/bin/urchin
+
+(Or put it some other place in your PATH.)
+
+There are slow tests and fast tests. The slow tests do things like install node
+and check that the right versions are used. The fast tests fake this to test
+things like aliases and uninstalling. From the root of the nvm git repository,
+run the fast tests like this.
+
+    urchin test/fast
+
+Run the slow tests like this.
+
+    urchin test/slow
+
+Run all of the tests like this
+
+    urchin test
