+Getting Started
+---------------
+
+Development Environment
+#######################
+
+All project data such as formatting guidelines, and upstream mapping is documented via sphinx
+which uses reStructuredText
+
+VirtualEnv
+**********
+
+Use of a virtual environment is recommended, as not only is it a quick easy form of
+getting the needed modules in place, it isolates the module versions to a project.
+
+From within your inspector directory, set up a new virtualenv::
+
+    virtualenv venv
+
+Activate the new virtual environment::
+
+    source venv/bin/activate
+
+Install requirements::
+
+    pip install -r requirements.txt
+
