-### Dev environment
-For your editor then we have a more strict standard so we can stage changes without breaking all builds
-Check these out into your /clients/custom folder.
+## Dev environment
+For your editor I suggest checking this package out globally:
+
+`composer global require d3r/standards`
+
+Then point your editor's phpcs and phpcbf to `/Users/<username>/.composer/vendor/d3r/standards/D3R-PHP.xml`.
 
-`git clone https://github.com/D3R/standards /clients/custom/standards`
+## Licence Checker
+You will automatically get licence checking in CI if you are using the standard D3R GitHub Workflow.
 
-then point your editor's phpci to one of the files either `/clients/custom/standards/D3R-DEV-PHP.xml` or `/clients/custom/standards/D3R-PHP.xml`
+If you need to add specific packages, vendors or licences to your local project, you can create a `.allowed-licenses.php` config file using the [base config](./.allowed-licenses.php) as a starting point.
