+================
+Initial Set up
+================
+
+Getting the Code
+================
+
+Replace your LFID with your actual Linux Foundation ID.
+
+.. code-block:: bash
+
+    git clone ssh://YourLFID@gerrit.opnfv.org:29418/storperf
+
+
+Virtual Environment
+=======================
+It is preferred to use virtualenv for Python dependencies. This way it is known
+exactly what libraries are needed, and can restart from a clean state at any
+time to ensure any library is not missing.  Simply running the script:
+
+.. code-block:: bash
+
+    ci/verify.sh
+
+from inside the storperf directory will automatically create a virtualenv in
+the home directory called 'storperf_venv'. This will be used as the Python
+interpreter for the IDE.
+
+
+Docker Version
+=======================
+In order to run the full set of StorPerf services, docker and docker-compose
+are required to be installed. This requires docker 17.05 at a minimum.
+
+.. code-block:: bash
