+Cloning and Startup
-==================================
+===================
 
-1. Install Devstack using the `Getting Started <https://github.com/openedx/devstack#getting-started>`_ instructions.
+1. Clone your new repo:
 
-2. Start up LMS, if it's not already started.
+.. code-block:: bash
 
-4. Within this project (frontend-app-authn), install requirements and start the development server:
+   git clone https://github.com/edx/frontend-app-authn.git
 
-   .. code-block::
+2. Use the version of Node specified in the ``.nvmrc`` file.
 
-      npm install
+   The current version of the micro-frontend build scripts supports the version of Node found in ``.nvmrc``.
-      npm start # The server will run on port 1999
+   Using other major versions of node *may* work, but this is unsupported.  For
+   convenience, this repository includes a ``.nvmrc`` file to help in setting the
+   correct node version via `nvm <https://github.com/nvm-sh/nvm>`_.
 
-5. Once the dev server is up, visit http://localhost:1999 to access the MFE
+3. Install npm dependencies:
 
-   .. image:: ./docs/images/frontend-app-authn-localhost-preview.png
+.. code-block:: bash
+
+   cd frontend-app-authn && npm install
+
+4. Update the application port to use for local development:
+
+   The default port is 1999. If this does not work for you, update the line
+   ``PORT=1999`` to your port in all ``.env.*`` files
+
+5. Start the devserver. The app will be running at ``localhost:1999``, or whatever port you change it too.
+
+   .. code-block:: bash
+
+      npm run dev
