 * install typescript globally (`npm i -g typescript`). This is important because it is needed to transpile, so you can run your changes locally (using command `tsc`)
 * run `npm install`
 * download the braid repo into a folder in the same directory as the primary yardstick folder
-
-## Building to Docker Hub (**this has been retired, new methodolgy will be outlined soon**)
-* run `./build`
-* when complete you'll see something like this `Your new docker tag: yardstick/braid:tagid`
-* copy this tag id, and in the yardstick `docker-compose.yml` file change the `image` field to have the new tag, for example:
-```
-braid:
-  image: yardstick/braid:{add the new tag here}
-  environment:
-    VIRTUAL_HOST: ysbraid.localhost
-    HTTPS_METHOD: noredirect
-```
-* once complete and confirmed to function, create a new PR for the measure repo, with the new tag and await ultimate judgement
-
-## Local Development
-* `vagrant up` in the primary yardstick folder
-* run the command `compose stop braid && compose rm braid && tsc && compose build braid && compose up -d` in the braid folder
-  * `compose stop` stops the default braid container that `vagrant up` builds
-  * `compose rm braid` removes the default braid container
-  * `tsc` transpiles the typescript in braid into javascript
-  * `compose build braid` builds the braid image based on the latest transpiled javascript files
-  * `comopose up -d` starts the braid container based on the files in the braid folder, overriding the default braid build container
-* you can see if braid is running by typing in `https://ysbraid.localhost`
-* to connect to braid you need to use the url `ws://ysbraid.localhost`
 * to test your changes before pushing you can run `tsc && npm test`
 * to check code coverage run `nyc npm test`, we must maintain above 90% code coverage
