+Prerequisites
+=============
+
+The `devstack`_ is currently recommended as a development environment for your
+new MFE.  If you start it with ``make dev.up.lms`` that should give you
+everything you need as a companion to this frontend.
+
+Note that it is also possible to use `Tutor`_ to develop an MFE.  You can refer
+to the `relevant tutor-mfe documentation`_ to get started using it.

 Requirements
-************
+============
 
 This component uses ``@edx/frontend-platform`` services such as i18n, analytics, configuration, and the ``AppContext`` React component, and expects that it has been loaded into a micro-frontend that has been properly initialized via ``@edx/frontend-platform``'s ``initialize`` function.  `Please visit the frontend template application to see an example. <https://github.com/openedx/frontend-template-application/blob/3355bb3a96232390e9056f35b06ffa8f105ed7ca/src/index.jsx>`_

 * ``LOGO_TRADEMARK_URL`` - This is a URL to a logo for use in the footer.  This is a different environment variable than ``LOGO_URL`` (used in frontend-component-header) to accommodate sites that would like to have additional trademark information on a logo in the footer, such as a (tm) or (r) symbol.

-************
+============
 
 To install this footer into your Open edX micro-frontend, run the following command in your MFE:
