+The steps below generate the needed docker images and the Docker build system sets up the Golang environment within a container image.  Build Golang docker images, `rw_core` being whats most needed for now.
 This should work without setting up a golang environment.  This also builds needed ofagent and cli docker images:

+#### VOLTHA 2.x Golang Adapter Library
+
+Included in the VOLTHA core build for containers is building libraries used by Golang adapters for interfacing into the core.  Stable versions of these libraries are available via golang's `dep` or `go get`.
+
+If you need to **edit voltha-go libraries and test those changes locally** you will need to refer to needed environment variables to include the local build.

 Set an environment variable for other Golang builds to inform the Makefile to copy files into the local vendor folder.  Useful for development testing.
