+Sparky - Inventory UI Service
+==============================
+***************
+Overview
+***************
+_Sparky_ is a service that interacts with AAI and provides users a UI to view and analyze AAI data. The main goal behind _Sparky_ is providing a more user friendly and clear view of AAI data.
+
+This document covers cloning, installing, and running the front end (FE) portion of _Sparky_.
+
+================
+Getting Started
+================
+
+
+Building _Sparky_
+------------------
+
+Clone the _Sparky_ FE repository
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+
+Repository name is sparky-fe
+
+Install required tools
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+
+Install node.js, including the Node Package Manager (NPM). Installing latest should be fun, but if that is causing issues then v6.10.1 will work.
+
+Install python, v2.7.13
+
+Install required packages
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+
+Navigate to the top level project directory and run:
+
+ > npm install
+
+Run or Build the Project
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+
+To run the project:
+
+ > npm start
+
+By default the local instance of the UI will be served to "https://localhost:8001/aai/#/viewInspect".
+
+This can be configured in the file "webpack.devConfig.js".
+
+To build the project (generates a .war file):
+
+ > gulp build
+
+The build will create a directory called "dist" and add the "aai.war" file into said dist directory.
+
+If changes to the build flow are required, updating "webpack.config.js" and "gulpfile.js" will likely provide any build tuning required.
