 ### 1. One-time setup
 It's expected that you will create and destroy clusters often in the course of development. These steps only need to be run once (or once per RHCOS update).
 
-#### 1.1 Pick a name and ip range
+#### 1.1 Install Dependencies and Enable Libvirt
+First install some dependencies needed to complete these instructions and then
+enable the libvirt daemon.
+
+```sh
+sudo dnf copr enable vbatts/bazel
+sudo dnf install bazel golang-bin gcc-c++ libvirt-daemon
+sudo systemctl start libvirtd
+sudo systemctl enable libvirtd
+```
+
+Check to see if a default storage pool has been defined in Libvirt by running
+`sudo virsh pool-list`.  If it does not exist, create it:
+
+```sh
+sudo virsh pool-define /dev/stdin <<EOF
+<pool type='dir'>
+  <name>default</name>
+  <target>
+    <path>/var/lib/libvirt/images</path>
+  </target>
+</pool>
+EOF
+
+sudo virsh pool-start default
+sudo virsh pool-autostart default
+```
+

 In this example, we'll set the baseDomain to `tt.testing`, the name to `test1` and the ipRange to `192.168.124.0/24`
