 In general, UNIX-based operating systems—like macOS or Linux—provide a better development environment for building Substrate-based blockchains.
 
 However, suppose your local computer uses Microsoft Windows instead of a UNIX-based operating system. In that case, you can configure it with additional software to make it a suitable development environment for building Substrate-based blockchains. To prepare a development environment on a Microsoft Windows computer, you can use Windows Subsystem for Linux (WSL) to emulate a UNIX operating environment.

 WSL enables you to emulate a Linux environment on a computer that uses the Windows operating system. The primary advantage of this approach for Substrate development is that you can use all of the code and command-line examples as described in the Substrate documentation. For example, you can run common commands—such as `ls` and `ps`—unmodified. By using WSL, you can avoid configuring a virtual machine image or a dual-boot operating system.

+## Part 2: Build the Polkadot SDK
+
+After installing all dependencies, you can now clone and compile the Polkadot SDK repository to verify your setup.
+
+### Clone the Polkadot SDK
+
+1. Clone the Polkadot SDK repository:
+
+    ```bash
+    git clone https://github.com/paritytech/polkadot-sdk.git
+    ```
+
+2. Navigate into the project directory:
 
-## Verifying Installation
+    ```bash
+    cd polkadot-sdk
+    ```
+
+### Compile the Polkadot SDK
+
+Compile the entire Polkadot SDK repository to ensure your environment is properly configured:
+
+```bash
+cargo build --release --locked
+```
+
+!!!warning
+    This initial compilation will take significant time (30-60 minutes or more) depending on your machine specifications. The `--release` flag optimizes for performance. This step compiles all components of the Polkadot SDK to verify your toolchain is correctly configured.
+
+### Verify the Build
 
-Verify the configuration of your development environment by running the following command:
+Once the build completes successfully, verify the installation by checking the compiled binaries:
 
 ```bash
-rustup show
+ls target/release
 ```
 
-The command displays output similar to the following:
-
-<div id="termynal" data-termynal>
-  <span data-ty="input"><span class="file-path"></span>rustup show</span>
-  <span data-ty>...</span>

+You should see several binaries including:
+
+- `polkadot` - The Polkadot relay chain node
+- `polkadot-parachain` - The parachain collator node
+- `polkadot-omni-node` - The omni node for running parachains
+- `substrate-node` - The kitchensink node with many pre-configured pallets
+
+Verify the Polkadot binary works by checking its version:
+
+```bash
+./target/release/polkadot --version
+```
+
+This should display version information similar to:
+
+```bash
+polkadot 1.16.0-1234abcd567
+```
+
+If you see the version output without errors, your development environment is correctly configured and ready for Polkadot SDK development!
+
+## Optional: Run the Kitchensink Node
+
+The Polkadot SDK includes a feature-rich node called "kitchensink" located at `substrate/bin/node`. This node comes pre-configured with many pallets and features from the Polkadot SDK, making it an excellent reference for exploring capabilities and understanding how different components work together.
+
+!!!note
+    If you've already compiled the Polkadot SDK in the previous step, the `substrate-node` binary is already built and ready to use. You can skip directly to running the node.
+
+### Run the Kitchensink Node in Development Mode
+
+From the `polkadot-sdk` root directory, start the kitchensink node in development mode:
+
+```bash
+./target/release/substrate-node --dev
+```
+
+The `--dev` flag enables development mode, which:
+
+- Runs a single-node development chain
+- Produces and finalizes blocks automatically
+- Uses pre-configured development accounts (Alice, Bob, etc.)
+- Deletes all data when stopped, ensuring a clean state on restart
+
+You should see log output indicating the node is running and producing blocks, with increasing block numbers after `finalized`.
+
+### Interact with the Kitchensink Node
+
+The kitchensink node is accessible at `ws://localhost:9944`. To explore its features using the Polkadot.js Apps interface:
+
+1. Open [Polkadot.js Apps](https://polkadot.js.org/apps/#/explorer){target=\_blank} in your web browser
+2. Click the network icon in the top left corner
+3. Scroll to **Development** and select **Local Node**
+4. Click **Switch** to connect to your local node
+
+You can now explore the various pallets and features included in the kitchensink node, making it a valuable reference as you develop your own blockchain applications.
+
+To stop the node, press `Control-C` in the terminal.
