+
+## Prerequisites 
+
+Before proceeding you will need to have monado installed (or built) and capable
+of running applications. If you do not have any hardware this should still work
+with the dummy driver. For those building Monado themselves you have to make
+sure the GUI is built. In short the commands `monado-gui` and `monado-service`
+are needed.
+
+## Running
+
+Open up three terminals and in the first run this command:
+
+```bash
+P_OVERRIDE_ACTIVE_CONFIG="remote" <path-to>/monado-serivce
+```
+
+If you get a error saying `ERROR [u_config_json_get_remote_port] No remote node`
+you can safely ignore that. Once it is up and running you can now start and
+connect the controller GUI. Select the second terminal use the command below and
+click connect.
+
+```bash
+monado-gui remote
+```
+
+You can now launch the program. You technically don't need to launch the
+program after @p monado-gui, once the service is running they can be launched
+in any order.
+
+```bash
+hello_xr -G Vulkan2
+```
+
+Now you can manipulate the values and control the devices.
