 make when deploying the catalog is whether to make the API server store its
 resources in an external etcd server, or in third party resources.
 
+If you have recently merged changes that haven't yet made it into a
+release, you probably want to deploy the canary images. Always use the
+canary images when testing local changes.
+
+For more information see the
+[installation instructions](./install-1.7.md). The last two lines of
+the following `helm install` example show the canary images being
+installed with the other standard installation options.

+```
+helm install ../charts/catalog \
+    --name ${HELM_RELEASE_NAME} --namespace ${SVCCAT_NAMESPACE} \
+    --set apiserver.auth.enabled=true \
+    --set useAggregator=true \

 If you choose etcd storage, the helm chart will launch an etcd server for you
 in the same pod as the service-catalog API server. You will be responsible for
 the data in the etcd server container.
