 # go4vl

-A Go library for the `Video for Linux 2`  (v4l2) user API.
+A Go centric abstraction of the library for  `Video for Linux 2`  (v4l2) user API.
 
 ----
 
 The `go4vl` project is for working with the Video for Linux 2 API for real-time video. 
 It hides all the complexities of working with V4L2 and provides idiomatic Go types, like channels, to consume and process captured video frames.
 
-> This project is designed to work with Linux and the Linux Video API.  
-> It is *NOT* meant to be a portable/cross-platform capable package for real-time video processing.

+# Canonical Multipass VM
+
+Use this directory to setup a [Canonical Multipass](https://multipass.run/) Ubuntu VM to build and run project examples. This is useful if you want to build/run project in a non-Linux environment (i.e. Apple's OSX) or do not wish to test against your local environment directly.
+
+## Pre-requisites
+
+* Download [Canonical Multipass](https://multipass.run/)
+* `envsubst` util command (i.e. `brew install gettext` on Mac)
+
+## Run the VM
+
+Use the `start.sh` script to launch the VM. Ensure that your local machine has the required spare CPUs and memory, otherwise, adjust accordingly. 
+
+Once launched, use `multipass shell go4vldev` to log into the ubuntu VM.
