 # Quick Start
+
 ## Setup
+
 PyChiquito uses PyO3 and Maturin to expose Rust APIs to Python. Maturin requires the user to locally build a Python virtual environment.
 Run the following script to create a Python virtual environment, install required packages, and build the project.
-```
+
+```bash
+# clone this repo and its submodules
+git clone --recursive https://github.com/qwang98/PyChiquito
+
 # Create a virtual environment
 python3 -m venv .env
 
@@ -10,24 +16,29 @@ python3 -m venv .env
 source .env/bin/activate
 
 # Install the required packages
-pip install maturin
-pip install py_ecc
+pip install -r requirements.txt
 
 # Build the project
 maturin develop
 ```
+
 If the above doesn't work, follow the guide here: https://pyo3.rs/main/getting_started#python
 
 ## Testing with examples
+
 Run fibonacci.py example file using the following script:
+
 ```
-python3 pychiquito/fibonacci.py
+python3 examples/fibonacci.py
 ```
 
 If setup is correct, you should see a print out of the parsed Rust AST circuit and TraceWitness. All Halo2 and Chiquito Debug messages for generating and verifying proof should also appear in the terminal.
 
 # Technical Design
+
 Python front end -> Python AST object/TraceWitness -> serialize to JSON string -> pass JSON string to Rust using PyO3 -> deserialize JSON string to Chiquito AST/TraceWitness -> store AST in Rust HashMap<UUID, AST> -> pass back UUID to Python -> generate and verify proof from Python with AST UUID and TraceWitness JSON
+
 ## Notes:
+
 - Rust bindings to expose to Python are in lib.rs
 - Boilerplate functions and `Deserialize` trait implementations for Rust Chiquito AST, TraceWitness, and their sub types are in frontend.rs of Rust Chiquito: https://github.com/privacy-scaling-explorations/chiquito
