+Installation Instructions
+-------------------------
+
+Please note that the following instructions assume that you have an existing 
+installation of the OpenStack Horizon dashboard application. For Horizon 
+installation please see http://docs.openstack.org/developer/horizon/quickstart.
+html
+
+1. Clone Ironic UI repository:
+
+  `git clone https://git.openstack.org/openstack/ironic-ui`
+
+2. Change into the root directory of your horizon installation and run the venv.
+ NOTE: this has been preinstalled when horizon was setup with ./run_tests.sh -
+ do not reinstall venv
+
+  `source .venv/bin/activate`
+
+3. Copy the _2200_ironic.py file from ironic-ui/enabled directory to 
+horizon/openstack_dashboard/local/enabled
+
+4. Change into the ironic-ui repository and package the plugin:
+
+  `pip install -e .`
+
+This will build and install the ironic-ui plugin into the active virtual 
+environment associated with your horizon installation. The plugin is installed 
+in "editable" mode as a link back to your ironic-ui plugin directory. 
+
+Also ensure that all packages as per requirements.txt have been installed.
+
+5. Change back into the horizon repository and bring up your environment:
+  
+  `./run_tests.sh --runserver`
+
+The Ironic Bare Metal Provisioning plugin should now be visible in the Horizon 
+navigation.
+
+To uninstall, use pip uninstall (find the name of the package to uninstall by
+running pip list from inside the horizon .venv). You will also need to remove 
+the enabled file from the openstack_dashboard/enabled folder.
