-## Requirements
+## Initial setup

+The recommended way to create a development environment is to first install the
+packaged versions of the Clear Containers components to create a working
+system:
+
+  * [Fedora*](fedora-installation-guide.md)
+  * [Ubuntu*](ubuntu-installation-guide.md)
+
+The installation guide instructions will install all packaged
+components, plus docker, the hypervisor and the Clear Containers image
+and kernel.

+## Requirements to build individual components
 
   * [go 1.8.3](https://golang.org/)
   * [gcc](https://gcc.gnu.org/) and associated C language build tooling

+Since the installation guide will have installed packaged versions of
+all required components, it is only necessary to install the source for
+the component(s) you wish to develop with.

 **IMPORTANT:** Do not combine [Clear Containers 2.1](https://github.com/01org/cc-oci-runtime) and [Clear Containers 3.0](https://github.com/clearcontainers).
 Both projects ship ``cc-proxy`` and they are not compatible with each other.
