+These guides assume that:
+  1.  you have little to zero Holochain experience, i.e. this may be your first Holochain app ever!
+  2.  but, that you are quite familiar with JavaScript front-end development
+
+## Installing Holochain Dev Environment
+
+The first step is to install [the Holochain developer environment](https://developer.holochain.org/get-started/).  Please follow step 2!
