+# Container environment 
+
+This provides a Dockerfile which can be used to build a Docker image locally and run a container for the environment setup of this project. It is an Ubuntu environemt with an LXDE desktop, based on an [existing Docker image](https://hub.docker.com/r/dorowu/ubuntu-desktop-lxde-vnc/). The instructions on the Dockerfile install all the needed dependencies, including VS Code and IO2D.
+
+## Setup
+
+* Clone the project or your own fork:
+
+```
+git clone --recurse-submodules https://github.com/udacity/CppND-Route-Planning-Project
+```
+
+* Build the Docker image:
+
+```bash
+docker build -t environment-cpp-project-1 .
+```
+
+* Run the Docker container, by mounting the project's directory from your host to the container:
+
+```bash
+docker run -p 6080:80 -v /dev/shm:/dev/shm \
+	-v <path-to-project>:/root/project/CppND-Route-Planning-Project \
+	environment-cpp-project-1
+```
+
+* Open `http://localhost:6080/` on your browser to see the Ubuntu Desktop.
+
+* Open the terminal in Ubuntu to build and execute the project:
+
+```bash
+cd /root/project/CppND-Route-Planning-Project
+mkdir build
+cd build
+cmake ..
+make
+./OSM_A_star_search
+```
+
+You should see the output below and at this point can continue working locally on the project.
