+Note: This will connect to our public DICOMWeb server so you can verify your
+installation. Follow the next section to connect to your own local or remote
+DICOMWeb server.
+
+## Set up a local DICOM server
+
+1. Choose and install an Image Archive
+2. Upload some data into your archive (e.g. with DCMTK's
+   [storescu](http://support.dcmtk.org/docs/storescu.html) or your archive's web
+   interface)
+3. Keep the server running
+

+#### Orthanc with Docker
+
+Depending on whether or not you want uploaded studies to persist in Orthanc
+after Docker has been closed, there are two different methods for starting the
+Docker image:
+
+##### Temporary data storage
+
+This command will start an instance of the jodogne/orthanc-plugins Docker image.
+_All data will be removed when the instance is stopped!_
+
+```
+docker run --rm -p 4242:4242 -p 8042:8042 jodogne/orthanc-plugins
+```
+
+##### Persistent data storage
+
+In order to allow your data to persist after the instance is stopped, you first
+need to create an image and attached data volume with Docker. The steps are as
+follows:
+
+1. Create a persistent data volume for Orthanc to use
+
+   ```
+   docker create --name sampledata -v /sampledata jodogne/orthanc-plugins
+   ```
+
+   **Note: On Windows, you need to use an absolute path for the data volume,
+   like so:**
+
+   ```
+   docker create --name sampledata -v '//C/Users/erik/sampledata' jodogne/orthanc-plugins
+   ```
+
+2. Run Orthanc from Docker with the data volume attached
+
+   ```
+   docker run --volumes-from sampledata -p 4242:4242 -p 8042:8042 jodogne/orthanc-plugins
+   ```
+
+3. Upload your data and it will be persisted
+
+### Setting up OHIF Viewer with Orthanc as an example
+
+Once you have Orthanc running with docker either with temporary data storage or
+persistent data storage we con move forward with the next steps.
+
+1. Load orthanc with a dataset you might want to use. To upload data use
+   [http://localhost:8042/app/explorer.html](http://localhost:8042/app/explorer.html).
+
+   **orthanc is the username and password for orthanc docker**
+
+2. Go under
+   [http://localhost:8042/app/explorer.html#upload](http://localhost:8042/app/explorer.html#upload)
+   and upload your DICOM files there
+
+3. After you load the data, open a new terminal tab in the `ohif-viewer`
+   directory and install all dependency packages via Yarn
+
+```bash
+yarn install
+```
+
+3. Run the application using one of the available configuration files. **the
+   following command assumes you are under the `root` folder**
+
+```bash
+export REACT_APP_CONFIG=$(cat ./config/local_orthanc.js)
+yarn start
+```
+
+This uses the
+[Custom Environment Variables of Create-React-App](https://facebook.github.io/create-react-app/docs/adding-custom-environment-variables)
+to pass in your configuration. The example above will not work on Windows.
+Please visit the link to read about how to set environment variables on Windows.
+
+4. Launch the OHIF Viewer Study List by visiting
+   [http://localhost:3000/](http://localhost:3000/) in a web browser.
+
+   **If everything is working correctly, you should see the Study List from your
+   archive when you visit the Study List.**
+
+5. Double-click on a Study in the Study List to launch it in the Viewer
+
+   **If everything is working correctly, you should see your study load into the
+   Viewer.**
