 ## Usage
 
-Make sure requirements are installed in your developer environment with:
-```bash
-pip install -r requirements.txt
-```
+You can run this example without installation in cloud-based IDEs that support 
+the [Development Containers specification](https://containers.dev/supporting)
+(aka "devcontainers").
+
+For development environments that do not support ``devcontainers``, install 
+requirements:
+
+    pip install -r requirements.txt
+
+If you are cloning the repo to your local system, working in a 
+[virtual environment](https://docs.python.org/3/library/venv.html) is 
+recommended.
+
+Your development environment should be configured to 
+[access Leap’s Solvers](https://docs.ocean.dwavesys.com/en/stable/overview/sapi.html).
+You can see information about supported IDEs and authorizing access to your 
+Leap account [here](https://docs.dwavesys.com/docs/latest/doc_leap_dev_env.html).
