+# Setting Up the Environment (WIP 2021-05-29)
+Use this checklist to install an environment on your PC to run the system. You can also opt for remoting to fetdatorn through SSH.
+
+## Your own PC
+- [ ] We run the system on Linux. If you have Windows, set up WSL2 (Windows Subsystem for Linux) [here](Prerequisite-Installs-for-Running-the-System-on-a-PC)
+- [ ] Install Docker [here](https://www.docker.com/get-started). Choose Docker Desktop if you are using Windows. Install on Linux using [this tutorial](https://docs.docker.com/engine/install/ubuntu/)
+- [ ] Install an integrated development environment of your choice. We recommend using VS Code which you can install from [here](https://code.visualstudio.com/). It is free and has excellent remote development opportunities and compatibilities. 
+
+## On fetdatorn
+- [ ] Simply open a terminal if you are using Linux, or install an SSH client such as [Putty](https://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/putty/) on Windows and connect to fetdatorn according to [here](SSH-Tunnel-Settings])
