-## Development Setup
+### Development Setup
 
-You will need **ruby 2.0** and **bundler** installed. Run `bundle install --local`.
+[ChefDK](http://www.getchef.com/downloads/chef-dk) is the recommended way to get the different tools necessary to manage, install, and test our chef deployment. It includes things like an embedded Ruby, [Berkshelf](http://berkshelf.com/), and [Test Kitchen](http://kitchen.ci/). After you've download and installed the necessary ChefDK package for your platform, run `/opt/chefdk/embedded/bin/bundle install --local` to add a few tools we use which are not included in the ChefDK packages.
+
+If you'd prefer to avoid ChefDK, then you will need to have Ruby 2.0 and Bundler installed. Then run `bundle install --local` to install all the gems required for development.
