+Methods to run PDP-D
+**********************************************************
+
+.. contents::
+    :depth: 2
+
+There are two methods you can use to run a PDP-D for testing purposes:
+
+1. Using Docker
+
+2. Using Eclipse
+
+Using Docker
+^^^^^^^^^^^^
+**Step 1:** Clone the integration/csit repository.
+
+You can find the repo here: https://gerrit.onap.org/r/admin/repos/integration/csit.
+Although this repository is used for CSIT testing, we can use this as a means to get a PDP-D up and running with docker.
+
+    .. code-block:: bash
+
+        git clone "https://gerrit.onap.org/r/integration/csit"
+
+**Step 2:** Note the "docker-compose" commands that will be used.
+
+    .. code-block:: bash
+
+        docker-compose -f ${WORKSPACE}/scripts/policy/docker-compose-drools-apps.yml up -d
+
+        docker-compose -f ${WORKSPACE}/scripts/policy/docker-compose-drools-apps.yml down -v
+
+Note that ${WORKSPACE} refers to the local path where the csit repository is.
+
+**Step 3:** Edit the "docker-compose-drools-apps.yml" file.
+
+Take a look at the "csit/scripts/policy/docker-compose-drools-apps.yml" file. It should look similar to this:
+
+    .. image:: img/docker/yamlClone.png
+
+The following changes need to be made based on which version you are running and your local setup.
+
+    .. code-block:: bash
+
+        ${POLICY_MARIADB_VER} should be "10.2.14" (without quotes, version subject to change)
+
+        ${WORKSPACE} should be the absolute path to the cloned "csit" repository.
+
+        ${POLICY_DROOLS_APPS_VERSION} should be "1.6.0" (without quotes, version subject to change).
+
+If you are using MacOS, you will also need to make the following changes:
+
+    .. code-block:: bash
+
+        expose:
+        - 6969
+        - 9696
+
+        will need to be changed to:
+
+        ports:
+        - "6969:6969"
+        - "9696:9696"
+
+**Step 4:** Start containers and interact with PDP-D.
+
+    .. code-block:: bash
+
+        docker-compose -f scripts/policy/docker-compose-drools-apps.yml up -d
+        docker container ls
+        docker exec -it drools bash
+
+    .. image:: img/docker/dockerComposeUp.png
+
+    .. code-block:: bash
+
+        policy status
+
+    .. image:: img/docker/policyStatus.png
+
+    .. code-block:: bash
+
+        # launches subshell where telemetry commands can be executed
+        telemetry
+
+        ls
+
+        cd controllers
+
+        # Get the current controllers
+        get
+
+    .. image:: img/docker/telemetryCmd.png
+
+    .. code-block:: bash
+
+        # Get information about the "frankfurt" controller
+        get frankfurt
+
+    .. image:: img/docker/getFrankfurt.png
+
+
+    .. code-block:: bash
+
+        docker-compose -f scripts/policy/docker-compose-drools-apps.yml down -v
+
+    .. image:: img/docker/dockerComposeDown.png
+
+In the next section, you will see more about using telemetry commands and interacting with the PDP-D.
+
+Using Eclipse
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+
+**Step 1:** Clone 'drools-pdp' repository and create a new directory for eclipse workspace.
+
+Link to repository: https://gerrit.onap.org/r/admin/repos/policy/drools-pdp
+For the purposes of this demo, we will create an new directory to use as a workspace for eclipse.
+
+    .. code-block:: bash
+
+       $ git clone "https://gerrit.onap.org/r/policy/drools-pdp"
+       Cloning into 'drools-pdp'...
+       remote: Counting objects: 59, done
+       remote: Finding sources: 100% (30/30)
+       remote: Total 14406 (delta 0), reused 14399 (delta 0)
+       Receiving objects: 100% (14406/14406), 3.23 MiB | 628.00 KiB/s, done.
+       Resolving deltas: 100% (6630/6630), done.
+       Checking out files: 100% (588/588), done.
+
+       $ mkdir workspace-drools-pdp
+
+       $ ls
+       drools-pdp/  workspace-drools-pdp/
+
+The "drools-pdp/" directory contains the cloned repository and "workspace-drools-pdp/" is an empty directory.
+
+**Step 2:** Import "drools-pdp" as an existing maven project.
+
+Open Eclipse. Hit the **browse** button and navigate to the "workspace-drools-pdp/" directory. Select that folder as the workspace directory and hit **launch**.
+
+    .. image:: img/eclipse/selectDirectory.png
+
+Select File -> Import -> Maven -> Existing Maven Projects -> Next
+
+    .. image:: img/eclipse/importMavenProject.png
+
+Select **Browse** and navigate to the root directory of the cloned project. Hit **Select All** to make sure all projects are included and select **Finish**.
+
+    .. image:: img/eclipse/selectProjectsToImport.png
+
+**Step 3:** Run "policy-management" as a java application
+
+All of the projects will appear in the package explorer after they finish importing. Right click on "policy-management", select "Run As", and select "Java Application".
+
+    .. image:: img/eclipse/runAsJavaApp.png
+
+Type "main" and select the option "Main - org.onap.policy.drools.system" then hit **OK**.
+
+    .. image:: img/eclipse/mainAppSelection.png
+
+If everything is successful, the PDP-D will start running and you will notice output displayed in the console. In the next section, you will see how to interact with the PDP-D using telemetry commands.
