 Getting started
 ===============
 
-FIXME
+You can get a development copy of the gstlal software suite from git.  Doing this at minimum will require a development copy of lalsuite.
+  * https://git.ligo.org/lscsoft/gstlal
+  * https://git.ligo.org/lscsoft/lalsuite
+
+Source tarballs are available here: http://software.ligo.org/lscsoft/source/
+
+Limited inary packages are available here:
+
+Building and installing from source follows the normal GNU build procedures
+involving:
+
+ 1. ./00init.sh 
+ 2. ./configure 
+ 3. make 
+ 4. make install.
+
+You should build the packages in order of gstlal, gstlal-ugly,
+gstlal-calibration, gstlal-inspiral.  If you are building to a non FHS place
+(e.g., your home directory) you will need to ensure some environment variables
+are set so that your installation will function.  The following five variables
+must be set.  As **just an example**::
+
+	GI_TYPELIB_PATH="/path/to/your/installation/lib/girepository-1.0:${GI_TYPELIB_PATH}"
+	GST_PLUGIN_PATH="/path/to/your/installation/lib/gstreamer-0.10:${GST_PLUGIN_PATH}"
+	PATH="/path/to/your/installation/bin:${PATH}"
+	# Debian systems need lib, RH systems need lib64, including both doesn't hurt
+	PKG_CONFIG_PATH="/path/to/your/installation/lib/pkgconfig:/path/to/your/installation/lib64/pkgconfig:${PKG_CONFIG_PATH}"
+	# Debian systems need lib, RH systems need lib and lib64
+	PYTHONPATH="/path/to/your/installation/lib64/python2.7/site-packages:/path/to/your/installation/lib/python2.7/site-packages:$PYTHONPATH"
