I think we can get rid of this section? just move this last sentence: "The MCWS Plugin is then included and customized in build tool configuration." after the first sentence in "Getting Started and Installation Instructions". Otherwise it's a little redundant with mentioning the build tool and required access twice.

Open MCT is built using the [Open MCT Build Tool](https://github.com/akhenry/openmct-build) (requires access request). The MCWS Plugin is then included and customized in build tool configuration.

### Installing the Build Tool
Install the [Open MCT Build Tool](https://github.com/akhenry/openmct-build) (requires access request). Therein contains instructions for how to use and configure Open MCT using the build tool.

I almost think we can do the same with this section. Move the last sentence up to the first section:

Getting Started and Installation Instructions

Installing the MCWS Plugin with Open MCT requires building Open MCT using the Open MCT Build Tool (requires access request). The MCWS Plugin is then included and customized in build tool configuration. The build tool contains instructions for how to use and configure Open MCT.

something like that? just a suggestion. Just seems like a lot of redundancy otherwise.
