 If you wish to build it and try it out though, you can do one of the following:
 
-## install as a krew plugin!

+## install as a Krew plugin!
+1. [install Krew](https://krew.sigs.k8s.io/docs/user-guide/setup/install/) if you don't already have it
+1. run `kubectl krew index add kube-lock https://github.com/chaosinthecrd/kube-lock.git` to add this repository as a Krew index (this is a temporary step while [the plugin is getting accepted to the upstream index](https://github.com/kubernetes-sigs/krew-index/pull/3409))
+2. install the plugin with `kubectl krew install kube-lock/lock`
 3. create an alias in your `.bashrc` or `.zshrc` like: `alias kubectl="kubectl-lock kubectl --"`
 4. From here, you can use `kube-lock` by calling `kubectl lock` followed by the subcommand you wish to use (e.g., `kubectl lock lock`)
