 This plugin works with the Discourse docker image. It allows you to perform upgrades via the web UI and monitor activity in the container.
 
-### Development Notes
+## Development Notes
+
+* Install `node.js`, `bower`, `grunt`
+* Clone this repo to desired folder path
+* In console, from folder path do `cd manger_client`, `npm install`, `bower install`
+* Create a symlink for this folder in your local Discourse instance "plugins" folder (eg. path/to/your/discourse_folder/plugins/discourse_manager)
+* Make sure your Discourse instance is running locally at port 3000 and you are logged in as Admin
+* In development mode, using `grunt server` will proxy to your Discourse instance running on port 3000
+* Just open up a browser to port 8000 and you're off to the races!
 
 The client application is built using [Ember App Kit](https://github.com/stefanpenner/ember-app-kit).
