+# Docker
+
+Tendermint uses docker for deployment of testnets via the [mintnet](github.com/tendermint/mintnet) tool. 
+
+For faster development iterations (ie. to avoid docker builds), 
+the dockerfile just sets up the OS, and tendermint is fetched/installed at runtime.
+
+For the deterministic docker builds used in testing, see the [tests directory](https://github.com/tendermint/tendermint/tree/master/test)
+
 # Build and run a docker image and container
 
+These are notes for the dev team. 
+
 ```
 # Build base Docker image
 # Make sure ./run.sh exists.

+# Install Go
+
+[Install Go, set the `GOPATH`, and put `GOPATH/bin` on your `PATH`](https://github.com/tendermint/tendermint/wiki/Setting-GOPATH).
+
+# Install Tendermint
+
+You should be able to install the latest with a simple `go get -u github.com/tendermint/tendermint/cmd/tendermint`.
+The `-u` makes sure all dependencies are updated as well. 
+
+Run `tendermint version` and `tendermint --help`.
+
+If the install falied, see [vendored dependencies below](#vendored-dependencies).
+
+To start a one-node blockchain with a simple in-process application: 
+
+```
+tendermint init
+tendermint node --proxy_app=dummy
+```
+
+See the [application developers guide](https://github.com/tendermint/tendermint/wiki/Application-Developers) for more details on building and running applications.
+
+
+## Vendored dependencies
+
+If the `go get` failed, updated dependencies may have broken the build.
+Install the correct version of each dependency using `glide`.
+
+Fist, install `glide`:
+
+```
+go get github.com/Masterminds/glide
+```
+
+Now, fetch the dependencies and install them with `glide` and `go`:
+
+```
+cd $GOPATH/src/github.com/tendermint/tendermint
+glide install
+go install ./cmd/tendermint
+```
+
+Sometimes `glide install` is painfully slow. Hang in there champ.
+
+The latest Tendermint Core version is now installed. Check by running `tendermint version`.
+
+## Troubleshooting
+
+If `go get` failing bothers you, fetch the code using `git`:
+
+```
+mkdir -p $GOPATH/src/github.com/tendermint
+git clone https://github.com/tendermint/tendermint $GOPATH/src/github.com/tendermint/tendermint
+cd $GOPATH/src/github.com/tendermint/tendermint
+glide install
+go install ./cmd/tendermint
+```

-1. Fork github.com/tendermint/tendermint.
-2. Run "make", it should install the daemon, which we named "tendermint".
-3. Run "tendermint gen_account".  Save the address, pub_key bytes, and priv_key bytes.
-   This is your developer key for controlling the cloud nodes.
-4. Also run "tendermint gen_validator" 5 times, once for each cloud node.  Save the output.
-5. Create a directory ~/.debora/ and copy cmd/debora/default.cfg into ~/.debora/default.cfg
-   Copy the priv_key bytes from step 4 into ~/.debora/default.cfg where it says so.
-   Change the list of hosts in ~/.debora/default.cfg with your own set of 5 cloud nodes.
-6. Replace cmd/barak/seed's pubkey with the pub_key bytes from step 3.
-7. Update config/tendermint/config.go's genesis with validator pubkeys from step 4.
-   Give each of your nodes the same amount of voting power.
-   Set up the accounts however you want.
-8. On each cloud node, follow the instructions here: https://github.com/tendermint/tendermint/tree/master/INSTALL
-   Create tmuser, install go, and also install 'barak'.
-   Then, run `barak -config="cmd/barak/seed"`.
-   You don't need to start the node at this time.
-9. Now you can run "debora list" on your development machine and post commands to each cloud node.
-10. Run scripts/unsafe_upgrade_barak.sh to test that barak is running.
-    The old barak you started on step 8 should now have quit.
-    A new instance of barak should be running.  Check with `ps -ef | grep "barak"`
-11. Run scripts/unsafe_restart_net.sh start your new testnet.
