 ## Using development infrastructure and tooling
 
 The Fleet application uses a lot of docker tooling to make setting up a development environment quick and easy. For information on this, see the [Development Infrastructure](./development-infrastructure.md) document.

+#### Setting up a Launcher environment
+
+It's helpful to have a local build of the Launcher and it's included package building tools when reasoning about connecting the Launcher to Fleet. Both Launcher and Fleet have a similar repository interface that should be familiar.
+
+If you have installed Go, but have never used it before (ie: you have not configured a `$GOPATH` environment variable), then there's good news: you don't need to do this anymore. By default, the Go compiler now looks in `~/go` for your Go source code. So, let's clone the launcher directory where it's supposed to go:
+
+```
+mkdir -p $GOPATH/src/github.com/kolide
+cd $GOPATH/src/github.com/kolide
+git clone git@github.com:kolide/launcher.git
+cd launcher
+```
+
+Once you're in the root of the repository (and you have a recent Go toolchain installed), you can follow the directions included with the Launcher repository:
+
+```
+make deps
+make generate
+make test
+make
+./build/launcher --help
