+## Prerequisites
+
+To write and push updates to Elastic documentation, you need the following:
+
+1. **A code editor**: we recommend [Visual Studio Code](https://code.visualstudio.com/download)
+1. **Git installed on your machine**: learn how [here](https://github.com/git-guides/install-git)
+1. **A GitHub account**: sign up [here](https://github.com/)
 
 ## Step 1: Install `docs-builder` [#step-one]
 
+There are two different ways to install and run `docs-builder`:
+
+1. Download, extract, and run the binary (recommended)
+1. Clone the repository and build the binary from source
+
+This guide uses option one. If you'd like to clone the repository and build from source, learn how in the [project readme](https://github.com/elastic/docs-builder?tab=readme-ov-file#docs-builder).
