+5. ```FLASK_APP=mr-sim.py flask run```
+
+    or

+When cloning/fetching from the repository first time:
+1. `git clone`
+2. `cd "..." ` 		#navigate to this folder
+3. `source setup.sh `	#setting up virtualenv and install requirements
+
+    you'll get a sourced virtualenv shell here, check prompt
+4. `(env) $ python3 mr-sim.py --help`
+
+    alternatively
+
+    `(env) $ python3 mr-sim.py --tc1`
+
+Every time you run the script, you'll need to step into the virtualenv by following step 3 first.
