+## Changes to the Installation Scripts
+
+The installation of both images is handled by the [`base.sh`](./base/base.sh)
+and [`install.sh`](./runner/install.sh). When making changes to these scripts,
+or to the [`docker.sh`](./base/docker.sh) docker CLI wrapper, you will need to
+wait for the results of the [`dev.yml`](./.github/workflows/dev.yml) workflow to
+finish and for the resulting image to be published at the GHCR before being able
+to test. The images will be published for amd64 only and with a tag named after
+the name of the branch. Check out the "Inspect image" step of the `merge` job to
+collect the fully-qualified name of the image. Once done, provide that name to
+the `-i` option of the [`orchestrator.sh`](./orchestrator.sh) script.
+
+Note that when changing the logic of the "entrypoints", i.e. the scripts run at
+microVM initialisation, you do not need to wait for the image to be created.
+Instead, pass `-D /local` to the [`orchestrator.sh`](./orchestrator.sh) script.
+This will mount the [`runner`](./runner/) directory into the microVM at `/local`
+and run the scripts that it contains from there instead.
