This document provides instructions for setting up a development environment for Kubeflow, including installing necessary tools like Git, Docker, programming languages Go and Python, and an IDE like Visual Studio Code. It also covers setting up local testing environments with Minikube or provisioning a cloud Kubernetes cluster on IBM Cloud. The goal is to have all tools installed and configured to contribute to Kubeflow projects through version control with Git and GitHub, build container images with Docker, and test code locally or on a cluster.
