 Installing the Extensible SDK
 =============================
 
+Two ways to install the Extensible SDK
+--------------------------------------
+
+Extensible SDK can be installed in two different ways, and both have
+their own pros and cons:
+
+1. *Setting up the Extensible SDK environment directly in a Yocto build*. This
+avoids having to produce, test, distribute and maintain separate SDK installer
+archives, which can get very large. There is only one environment for the regular
+Yocto build and the SDK and less code paths where things can go not according to plan.
+It's easier to update the SDK: it simply means updating the Yocto layers with
+git fetch or layer management tooling. The SDK extensibility is better than in the
+second option: just run ``bitbake`` again to add more things to the sysroot, or add layers
+if even more things are required.
+
+2. *Setting up the Extensible SDK from a standalone installer*. This has the benefit of
+having a single, self-contained archive that includes all the needed binary artifacts.
+So nothing needs to be rebuilt, and there is no need to provide a well-functioning
+binary artefact cache over the network for developers with underpowered laptops.
+
+Setting up the Extensible SDK environment directly in a Yocto build
+-------------------------------------------------------------------
+
+1. Set up all the needed layers and a Yocto build directory, e.g. a regular Yocto
+   build where ``bitbake`` can be executed.
+
+2. Run:
+    $ bitbake meta-ide-support
+    $ bitbake -c populate_sysroot gtk+3
+    (or any other target or native item that the application developer would need)
+    $ bitbake populate-sysroots

 The first thing you need to do is install the SDK on your :term:`Build
 Host` by running the ``*.sh`` installation script.
