-## Prerequisites:
+## Essential Setup
 
-### General
+### Clone this repo
+
+Remeber to clone this repo and change to the `sample-network` directory
+
+```shell
+git clone https://github.com/hyperledger-labs/fabric-operator.git
+cd fabric-operator/sample-network
+```
+
+### Required Tools
+
+If you don't have these already, please install these first.
 
 - [kubectl](https://kubernetes.io/docs/tasks/tools/)
 - [jq](https://stedolan.github.io/jq/)
 - [envsubst](https://www.gnu.org/software/gettext/manual/html_node/envsubst-Invocation.html) (`brew install gettext` on OSX)

-- Fabric binaries (peer, osnadmin, etc.) will be installed into the local `bin` folder.  Add these to your PATH:
 
+Note that the Fabric binaries (peer, osnadmin, etc.) will be installed for you into a local `bin` folder.  These should be added to your PATH:
 ```shell
 export PATH=$PWD:$PWD/bin:$PATH
 ```
 
+### Optional Tools
+
+These are optional but strongly recommended; especially if you want to run a local cluster.

+- [kind](https://kind.sigs.k8s.io/) if you want to create a cluster locally, see below for other options
+- [k9s](https://k9scli.io) (recommended, but not essential)
+- [just](https://github.com/casey/just#installation) to run all the comamnds here directly
+
+If you've run this tutorial before, there is a `justfile` that can used as a helpful 'cheatsheet' of the commands. If you `just` installed then a `just ` will setup and create a channel for you.
