+You can find more information about Apache Camel and Apache Camel K on the 
[official Camel website](https://camel.apache.org).
+
+## Before you begin
+
+Read the general instructions in the [root README.md file](/README.md) for 
setting up your environment and the Kubernetes cluster before looking at this 
example.
+
+Make sure you've read the [installation 
instructions](https://camel.apache.org/camel-k/latest/installation/installation.html)
 for your specific
+cluster before starting the example.
+
+## Understanding the Example
+
+- [`Env.java`](./Env.java) defines a route that logs the value of an env 
variable every second
+
+## Running the Example
+
+To both set the `MY_ENV_VAR` env variable to `hello world` and run the 
integration, execute the following:
+```
+kamel run --env MY_ENV_VAR="hello world" Env.java --dev
+```
+You should see `hello world` logged to the terminal every second
