+# Local development with [`ko`][ko] and [`KinD`][kind]
+[ko]: https://ko.build
+[kind]: https://kind.sigs.k8s.io/
+
+## Installing Kro
+
+1. Create a `KinD` cluster.
+
+   ```sh
+   kind create cluster
+   ```
+
+2. Create the `kro-system` namespace.
+
+   ```sh
+   kubectl create namespace kro-system
+   ```
+
+3. Set the `KO_DOCKER_REPO` env var.
+
+   ```sh
+   export KO_DOCKER_REPO=kind.local
+   ```
+   
+   > _Note_, if not using the default kind cluster name, set KIND_CLUSTER_NAME
+
+   ```sh
+   export KIND_CLUSTER_NAME=my-other-cluster
+   ```
+4. Apply the Kro CRDs.
+
+   ```sh
+   make manifests
+   kubectl apply -f ./helm/crds
+   ```
+
+5. Render and apply the local helm chart.
+ 
+   ```sh
+    helm template kro ./helm \
+      --namespace kro-system \
+      --set image.pullPolicy=Never \
+      --set image.ko=true | ko apply -f -
+    ```
+
+## Hello World
+
+1. Create a `NoOp` ResourceGraph using the `ResourceGraphDefinition`.
+
+   ```sh
+   kubectl apply -f - <<EOF
+   apiVersion: kro.run/v1alpha1
+   kind: ResourceGraphDefinition
+   metadata:
+     name: noop
+   spec:
+     schema:
+       apiVersion: v1alpha1
+       kind: NoOp
+       spec: {}
+       status: {}
+     resources: []
+   EOF
+   ```
+   
+   Inspect that the `ResourceGraphDefinition` was created, and also the newly created CRD `NoOp`.
+
+   ```sh
+   kubectl get ResourceGraphDefinition noop
+   kubectl get crds | grep noops
+   ```
+   
+3. Create an instance of the new `NoOp` kind.
+
+   ```sh
+   kubectl apply -f - <<EOF
+   apiVersion: kro.run/v1alpha1
+   kind: NoOp
+   metadata:
+     name: demo
+   EOF
+   ```
+
+   And inspect the new instance,
+
+   ```shell
+   kubectl get noops -oyaml
+   ```
