+## Developing with VTK.js
+
+Follow these steps to develop against a custom development branch of VTK.js:
+
+1. Build and package VTK.js:
+```sh
+path/to/vtk-js > npm run build:esm
+```
+
+2. Create a symbolic link to the VTK.js distribution folder on your local system:
+```sh
+> cd path/to/vtk-js/dist/esm
+path/to/vtk-js/dist/esm > npm link
+```
+
+3. Reference the symbolic link in your local VolView build:
+```sh
+> cd path/to/VolView
+path/to/VolView > npm link --no-save @kitware/vtk.js
+```
+
+4. Build and run VolView:
+```sh
+path/to/VolView > npm run dev
+```
