 For information about the Artifactory Gatekeeper plugin, see the Snyk user
 docs, [Artifactory Gatekeeper plugin](https://docs.snyk.io/integrations/private-registry-gatekeeper-plugins/artifactory-gatekeeper-plugin-overview).
 
-## Setup local development environment
-
-### Download an Artifactory Docker image:
-
-```
-docker pull releases-docker.jfrog.io/jfrog/artifactory-pro:latest
-```
-
-Does not have to be `pro`, but in this example we'll do it.
-
-### Create a `$JFROG_HOME` folder
-
-```
-mkdir -p ~/.jfrog/artifactory/var/
-```
-
-Export it to your environment for ease of use
-
-```
-echo export JFROG_HOME=~/.jfrog >> ~/.zshrc
-```
-
-### Build the plugin
-
-Depends a lot on your system. But something like
-
-```
-mvn install -DskipTests
-```
-
-Will probably work. Per default, you'll find a baked `.zip`
-in `~/.m2/repository/io/snyk/plugins/artifactory/distribution/LOCAL-SNAPSHOT`.
-
-Unzip it. Inside is a `.groovy` file, a `.properties` file, as well as the actual `.jar` inside `/lib`.
-
-Edit the `.properties`, add something like this to the properties for a minimum working solution:
-
-```
-snyk.api.token=<INSERT_TOKEN>
-snyk.api.organization=<INSERT_ORG_ID>
-```
-
-Also, if you want to test against your local Registry, but you're running on Docker:
-
-```
-snyk.api.url=http://host.docker.internal:8000/api/v1/
-```
-
-At least if you're on OSX, you cannot probe against `localhost` from within a Docker container.
-
-Also, remember to activate some of the scanners depending on what you're debugging:
-
-```
-snyk.scanner.packageType.maven=true
-snyk.scanner.packageType.npm=true
-snyk.scanner.packageType.pypi=true
-```
-
-### Enable debugging JVM options
-
-```
-vim $JFROG_HOME/artifactory/var/etc/system.yaml
-``` 
-
-Add `extraJavaOpts`
-
-```
-shared:
-    ## Java 17 distribution to use
-    #javaHome: "JFROG_HOME/artifactory/app/third-party/java"
-
-    ## Extra Java options to pass to the JVM. These values add to or override the defaults.
-    #extraJavaOpts: "-Xms512m -Xmx4g"
-    extraJavaOpts: "-agentlib:jdwp=transport=dt_socket,server=y,suspend=n,address=*:5005"
-```
-
-### Run the Docker image
-
-And ensure you expose debugging ports, in this case, `5005`
-
-```
-docker run -d --name artifactory -p 8888:8082 -p 8081:8081 -p 5005:5005 -v $JFROG_HOME/artifactory/var/:/var/opt/jfrog/artifactory releases-docker.jfrog.io/jfrog/artifactory-pro:latest
-```
-
-Wait until the Docker has loaded, it can take a while. Check the progress with `docker logs -f <id>`.
-
-#### Notice for M1 Macs
-
-You'll have a ton of trouble if you default to building your Docker images as `linux/amd64`. At least I had. Ensure you
-do not have a env variable like `DOCKER_DEFAULT_PLATFORM=linux/amd64` enabled when pulling and/or running the image.

+# Local development
+
+## Running artifactory locally
+Artifactory pro is required to run this plugin. If you want to try it out,
+you can sign up for free on the [JFrog website](https://jfrog.com/start-free/)
+and download a self-hosted version powered by Docker Compose.
+
+Follow the installation instructions to run artifactory.
+The `artifactory-docker-compose` folder, which is .gitignored,
+can be used to extract artifactory to.
+
+## Installing the plugin
+Build it first:
+
+```shell
+mvn install -DskipTests
+```
+
+Unpack the release into artifactory's plugins folder:
+
+```shell
+unzip -o distribution/target/artifactory-snyk-security-plugin-LOCAL-SNAPSHOT.zip -d local-dev/artifactory-docker-compose/artifactory/var/etc/artifactory/
+```
+
+Restart Artifactory and check the logs to confirm the plugin gets loaded.
