+## Install Dev Containers extension
+
+Start by opening the project with VS Code. Within it, you will need to install the extension _Dev Containers_, which can be done from the _Extensions_ section, reachable via the sidebar icons.

+
+## Open the project in a container
+
+If everything is correct, this should make a few new commands available to you within VS Code. Find and run the command "Dev Containers: Reopen in Container".

+
+The first time you do this, it will go into a bit of a process. It will create the devcontainer, pull the Docker images, install the dependencies, etc. Go drink some water while this runs.

I found the part of the setup time for downloading the images and dependencies significant enough that I'd like an approximation of how many GB this downloads in the text once this PR is more finalized.
