 This directory contains the manifest files for running the Application Study Tool in a Kubernetes cluster
 
-You will also need to modify the following files at minimum.
+To just clone this directory (./ast-on-k8s), where the Kubernetes manifest files are located, you can follow these steps:
+```
+$ mkdir ast-on-k8s 
+$ cd ast-on-k8s 
+$ git init 
+$ git remote add -f origin https://github.com/javajason/ast-config-wizard 
+$ git config core.sparseCheckout true 
+$ echo “ast-on-k8s/“ >> .git/info/sparse-checkout 
+$ git pull origin main 
+```

+You will also need to modify the following files, at minimum.
 - env-configmap.yaml:
   Update the Grafana credentials to the desired credentials and the SENSOR_ID/SENSOR_SECRET_TOKEN if using the global AST dashboard.
 - env-device-secrets-configmap.yaml:
-  Update the BIGIP_PASSWORD_1 value to the password of your BIG-IPs. If there are multiple BIG-IP passwords, also update BIGIP_PASSWORD_2, BIGIP_PASSWORD_3, BIGIP_PASSWORD_4, etc.
+  Update the BIGIP_PASSWORD_1 value to the password of your BIG-IPs. If there are multiple BIG-IP passwords, also update BIGIP_PASSWORD_2, BIGIP_PASSWORD_3, BIGIP_PASSWORD_4, etc. (TODO: This needs to be changed so these passwords are stored as Kubernetes secrets.)
 - otel-collector-deployment.yaml:
-  This file has two environment variables for BIG-IP passwords, BIGIP_PASSWORD_1 and BIGIP_PASSWORD_2. If you have more than two BIG-IP passwords, you will need to add them here.

 - rec-pipe-configmap.yaml:
-  This is the equivalent of the services/otel_collector/receivers.yaml file. You will need to list all BIG-IPs to be monitored, along with their settings, in this file. You will also need to reference the BIG-IPs (i.e., "bigip/1", "bigip/2", etc.) in the receivers section under pipelines.yaml (also in this file).
