 ### OK how do I use it?
 
+This section covers launching Monyk using default setting for development environment:
+
+- databases re-created on start-up
+- mock data initially added to the databases to help kick-start things
+- *GroundControl* API is accessible from browser via https://localhost:42113/swagger
+- *Lab* API is accessible from browser via https://localhost:42133/swagger

 Note that all the further commands assume that you have cloned the repository:
 
 ```Shell
 git clone https://github.com/leon99/monyk
 cd monyk
 ```
 
+#### Run/debug using Visual Studio

+1. Run `docker-compose -f .\docker-compose-infra-only.yml up` to launch just the required infrastructure.
+2. Use [SwitchStartupProject](https://bitbucket.org/thirteen/switchstartupproject/) to launch all the Monyk components from VS at once. An appropriate config file for it is included here.
