 ## Maintaining this plugin

+```
+python3 -m virtualenv env  # Run once
+source env/bin/activate
+```
+
+Otherwise, you'll need to make sure that dependencies for this package are natively discoverable on your system.

 To test this plugin, make sure you have `tox` installed (`pip install tox`) then run `tox`. This will test, lint, and

 To build this plugin for release, you can do `python setup.py sdist`, to prepare for uploading to PyPI, or you can

+## Requirements
+
+You must have `chromedriver` available in your environment. 
+See the [official documentation](https://chromedriver.chromium.org/) to understand the driver and its installation

+
+### Installing and configuring the chromedriver
+
+For the purposes of testing and maintaining this package, there is a convenience script to help download and install
+the `chromedriver`, a required binary for this plugin. For development, it is recommended that you install 
+chromedriver to your virtualenv like so:
+
+```
+python3 -m virtualenv env
+CHROMEDRIVER_DIST=mac64 ./bootstrap_chromedriver.sh   # The default install location is in env/bin
+```
+
+Then, it will always be in your path, as long as your working in your virtualenv (`source env/bin/activate`).
+
+This script is not installed as part of this plugin, and is only available from the git repository. There are a number
+of solutions available to install chromedriver on your system, but this plugin does not assume that responsibility.
+
+If your system has chromedriver installed somewhere undiscoverable, you can explicitly provide the correct path by
+setting the CHROME_BIN environment variable:
+
+```
+CHROME_BIN="/path/to/google-chrome-stable" pytest
+```
+
