-> “[One] who works with the door open gets all kinds of interruptions, but [they] also occasionally gets clues as to what the world is and what might be important.” — Richard Hamming
+## Prerequisites
 
-Quartz is a set of tools that helps you publish your [digital garden](https://jzhao.xyz/posts/networked-thought) and notes as a website for free.

+For me, that was joshwingreene.github.io.
+
+I recommend that you keep the "Copy the main branch only" option checked.
+
+### Step 2 - Clone your fork to your machine
+
+I recommend that you place it in your Obsidian vault.
+
+For reference, I have a folder called "My Digital Garden" and I have the following two sub-folders inside of it:
+- Publisher
+- Workbench
+
+I cloned my fork repo into the "Publisher" folder.
+
+### Step 3 - Use the terminal in order to navigate to your front porch folder and then run `npm install` in order to install all of the necessary packages. The dependencies of Front Porch v1.0.0 is consistent with the dependencies that Quartz v4.2.3 relies on.
