+## Overview
+This plugin consists of two components: a frontend and a backend
+
+The backend plugin provides support for [alerts](https://grafana.com/docs/alerting/rules), but is not required to use the frontend portion.

 ## Installation
-Either clone this repo into your grafana plugins directory (default /var/lib/grafana/plugins if your installing grafana with package). Then run grunt to compile typescript.
-Restart grafana-server and the plugin should be automatically detected and used.
+### Install to plugins directory
+
+If you only need the frontend component you may clone the project directly into your Grafana plugin directory 
+(defaults to /var/lib/grafana/plugins if you're installing grafana with package). 
 
+Then simply compile the code and restart Grafana:
 ```
 git clone https://github.com/grafana/kairosdb-datasource
+cd kairosdb-datasource
 npm install
-grunt
+make frontend
 sudo service grafana-server restart
 ```
 
-## Clone into a directory of your choice
+### Install with Alerts
+If you wish to build the backend plugin, as well, your project must be setup within a [Go workspace](https://golang.org/doc/code.html#Workspaces).
+
+Ensure your GOPATH environment variable points to your workspace:
+```
+export GOPATH=$HOME/go
+cd $GOPATH/src/github.com/grafana
+git clone https://github.com/grafana/kairosdb-datasource
+```
+

 ```
 
-Note that if you clone it into the grafana plugins directory you do not need to add the above config option. That is only
