-<img src="https://shawntabrizi.github.io/substrate-collectables-workshop/media/substratekitty.png" alt="icon" width="300">
+This repository contains a end to end working package of Substrate Kitties repositories.
 
-Follow the tutorial here to learn more:
+<img src="./screenshot.png" alt="icon" width="300">
+
+This includes:
+
+- The Substrate Kitties Pallet
+- The Polkadot SDK Minimal Template
+- The Substrate Kitties UI
+
+These projects should work together to show an example of a simple decentralized application (DApp) using the Polkadot technology stack.
+
+[Tutorials are available](#tutorials) to learn how to build these projects.
+
+## Creating the Package
+
+This package was created by cloning a few public repositories, and bringing them together.
+
+**Substrate Kitties Pallet**
+
+```
+git clone --depth=1 --branch=gitorial https://github.com/shawntabrizi/substrate-collectables-workshop
+rm -rf ./substrate-collectables-workshop/.git
+```
+
+**Polkadot SDK Minimal Template**
+
+```
+git clone --depth=1 --branch=master https://github.com/paritytech/polkadot-sdk-minimal-template
+rm -rf ./polkadot-sdk-minimal-template/.git
+```
+
+We need to update the minimal template to include the `pallet-kitties`, which is shown in this commit: TODO.
+
+**Substrate Kitties UI**
+
+This project is local to this repo.
+
+## Setup
+
+To run this project, you will need to install some prerequisites and compile the projects.
+
+### Prerequisites
+
+This package uses Rust, NodeJS, and the Polkadot SDK.
+
+To install all the prerequisites needed for Rust and the Polkadot SDK, run:
+
+```sh
+curl --proto '=https' --tlsv1.2 https://raw.githubusercontent.com/paritytech/polkadot-sdk/master/scripts/getting-started.sh -sSf | sh
+```
+
+To install NodeJS, I recommend you use `nvm` which is a way to install NodeJS and manage which version you use.
+
+See the instructions here: https://github.com/nvm-sh/nvm
+
+### Compiling and Running the Blockchain
+
+Change to the `polkadot-sdk-minimal-template` directory:
+
+```sh
+cd polkadot-sdk-minimal-template
+```
+
+Then build the node binary:
+
+```sh
+cargo build --release
+```
+
+This should create the `minimal-template-node` binary which you can run like this:
+
+```sh
+./target/release/minimal-template-node --dev
+```
+
+This already includes `pallet-kitties` in the runtime.
+
+You should see that blocks are being produced in the terminal logs.
+
+### Running the UI
