+### Install VS Code.
+
+Select File -> Open and select *the entire folder*.
+
+VS Code will propose to install "Dev Container". Click "install".
+
+VS Code will give you a message similar to:
+
+> Folder contains a Dev Container configuration file. Reopen folder to develop in a container.
+
+Select "Reopen in container".
+
+Now you should have the folder open while VS Code is in "container development mode".
+
+Create a new terminal using Terminal -> New Terminal.
+
+Run the following:
+
+    act4e-check TestSimpleIntro
+
+This will have created a file `out-results/result-TestSimpleIntro.html`.
+
+From the file tree to the left, right-click the file and select "open preview". You will see the results of the testing.
+
+Now browse the Python files in `src/`. Verify that autocompletion works..
