+## Development environment setup
+
+### Lando
+Install Docker and Lando to provide a local containerized environment
+
+In the code directory, start the local containers with `lando start`
+
+### Copying the production database
+Dump the production database to a non version-controlled file path like `var/catalog_prod.sql`.
+
+Strip out any `DEFINER` statements that will break the import:
+```
+sed -i '' 's/DEFINER=[^*]*\*/\*/g' var/catalog_prod.sql
+```
+
+Import the database into the local container:
+```
+lando db-import var/catalog_prod.sql
+```
