-More to come...
+The following describes how to install the R-CORD profile, plus a
+`SimpleExampleService`, on a single Linux box. Once you complete these
+steps, you might be interested in jumping ahead to the
+[SimpleExampleService Tutorial](simpleexampleservice/simple-example-service.md)
+to learn more about the make-up of a CORD service.
+
+## Python & Docker
+
+After a fresh install of Ubuntu 16.04 Server, install Docker and Python:
+
+```shell
+sudo apt update
+sudo apt-get install python
+sudo apt-get install python-pip
+pip install requests
+sudo apt install -y docker.io
+sudo systemctl start docker
+sudo systemctl enable docker
+```
+
+Now, verify the docker version.
+
+```shell
+docker --version
+```
+
+## Minikube & Kubectl
+
+Install `minikube` and `kubectl`:
+
+```shell
+curl -Lo minikube
+https://storage.googleapis.com/minikube/releases/latest/minikube-linux-amd64
+chmod +x minikube
+sudo mv minikube /usr/local/bin/
+curl -Lo kubectl https://storage.googleapis.com/kubernetes-release/release/$(curl -s https://storage.googleapis.com/kubernetes-release/release/stable.txt)/bin/linux/amd64/kubectl && chmod +x kubectl
+curl -LO https://storage.googleapis.com/kubernetes-release/release/$(curl -s https://storage.googleapis.com/kubernetes-release/release/stable.txt)/bin/linux/amd64/kubectl
+chmod +x ./kubectl
+sudo mv ./kubectl /usr/local/bin/kubectl
+```
+
+Issue the following commands:
+
+```shell
+export MINIKUBE_WANTUPDATENOTIFICATION=false
+export MINIKUBE_WANTREPORTERRORPROMPT=false
+export MINIKUBE_HOME=$HOME
+export CHANGE_MINIKUBE_NONE_USER=true
+mkdir -p $HOME/.kube
+touch $HOME/.kube/config
+
+export KUBECONFIG=$HOME/.kube/config
+```
+
+Navigate to the `/usr/local/bin/` directory and issue the following
+commands. Make sure there are no errors afterwards:
+
+```shell
+sudo -E ./minikube start --vm-driver=none
+```
+
+You can run
+
+```shell
+kubectl cluster-info
+```
+
+to verify that your Minikube cluster is up and running.
+
+## Export the KUBECONFIG File
+
+Locate the `KUBECONFIG` file:
+
+```shell
+sudo updatedb
+locate kubeconfig
+```
+
+Export a `KUBECONFIG` variable containing the path to the
+configuration file found above. For example, If your `U`
+file was located in the `/var/lib/localkube/kubeconfig` directory,
+the command you issue would look like this:
+
+```shell
+export KUBECONFIG=/var/lib/localkube/kubeconfig
+```
+
+## Download CORD
+
+There are two general ways you might download CORD. The following
+walks through both, but you need to follow only one. (For simplicity, we
+recommend the first.)
+
+The first simply clones the CORD `helm-chart` repository using `git`.
+This is sufficient for downloading just the Helm charts you will need
+to deploy the set of containers that comprise CORD. These containers
+will be pulled down from DockerHub.
+
+The second uses the `repo` tool to download all the source code that
+makes up CORD, including the Helm charts needed to deploy the CORD
+containers. You might find this useful if you want look at the
+interals of CORD more closely.
+
+In either case, following these instructions will result in a
+directory `~/cord/helm-charts`, which will be where you go next to
+continue the installation process.
+
+### Download: `git clone`
+
+Create a CORD directory and run the following `git` command in it:
+
+```shell
+mkdir ~/cord
+cd ~/cord
+git clone https://gerrit.opencord.org/helm-charts
+cd helm-charts
+```
+
+### Download: `repo`
+
+Make sure you have a `bin/` directory in your home directory and
+that it is included in your path:
+
+```shell
+mkdir ~/bin
+PATH=~/bin:$PATH
+```
+
+Download the Repo tool and ensure that it is executable:
+
+```shell
+curl https://storage.googleapis.com/git-repo-downloads/repo > ~/bin/repo
+chmod a+x ~/bin/repo
+```
+
+Make a `/cord` directory and navigate into it:
+
+```shell
+mkdir ~/cord
+cd ~/cord
+```
+
+Configure `git` with your real name and email address:
+
+```shell
+git config --global user.name "Your Name"
+git config --global user.email "you@example.com"
+```
+
+Initialize `repo` and download the CORD source tree to your working
+directory:
+
+```shell
+repo init -u https://gerrit.opencord.org/manifest -b master
+repo sync
+```
+
+## Helm
+
+Run the Helm installer script that will automatically grab the latest
+version of the Helm client and install it locally:
+
+```shell
+curl https://raw.githubusercontent.com/kubernetes/helm/master/scripts/get > get_helm.sh
+chmod 700 get_helm.sh
+./get_helm.sh
+```
+
+## Tiller
+
+Issue the following:
+
+```shell
+sudo helm init
+sudo kubectl create serviceaccount --namespace kube-system tiller
+sudo kubectl create clusterrolebinding tiller-cluster-rule --clusterrole=cluster-admin --serviceaccount=kube-system:tiller
+sudo kubectl patch deploy --namespace kube-system tiller-deploy -p '{"spec":{"template":{"spec":{"serviceAccount":"tiller"}}}}'      
+sudo helm init --service-account tiller --upgrade
+```
+
+Install `socat` to fix a port-forwarding error:
+
+```shell
+sudo apt-get install socat
+```
+
+Issue the following and make sure no errors come up:
+
+```shell
+helm ls
+```
+
+## Deploy CORD Helm Charts
+
+Deploy the service profiles corresponding to the `xos-core`,
+`base-kubernetes`, and `demo-simpleexampleservice` helm-charts:
+
+```shell
+cd ~/cord/helm-charts
+helm init
+sudo helm dep update xos-core
+sudo helm install xos-core -n xos-core
+sudo helm dep update xos-profiles/base-kubernetes
+sudo helm install xos-profiles/base-kubernetes -n base-kubernetes
+sudo helm dep update xos-profiles/demo-simpleexampleservice
+sudo helm install xos-profiles/demo-simpleexampleservice -n demo-simpleexampleservice
+```
+
+Use `kubectl get pods` to verify that all containers in the profile
+are successful and none are in the error state.
+
+> **Note:** It will take some time for the various helm charts to
+> deploy and the containers to come online. The `tosca-loader
+> `container may error and retry several times as they wait for
+> services to be dynamically loaded. This is normal, and eventually
+> the `tosca-loader` containers will enter the completed state:
+
+## Next Steps 
+
+This completes our example walk-through. At this point, you can do one
+of the following:
+
+* Explore other [installation options](README.md).
+* Take a tour of the [operational interfaces](operating_cord/general.md).
+* Drill down on the internals of [SimpleExampleService](simpleexampleservice/simple-example-service.md).
