+This guide provides essential commands for setting up Ethopy on a Raspberry Pi (RP) device.
 
-## SSH Setup
-Enable SSH service for remote access:
-```bash
-sudo systemctl enable ssh  # Enables SSH to start automatically at boot
-sudo systemctl start ssh   # Starts SSH service immediately
-```
+## Prerequisites
+
+- Raspberry Pi image
+  Follow the instructions in the [Raspberry Pi documentation](https://www.raspberrypi.com/documentation/) to install the image and set up your Raspberry Pi.
+
+- SSH Setup
+  Enable the SSH service to allow remote access to your Raspberry Pi via the terminal:
 
-## Ethopy Installation
+  ```bash
+  sudo systemctl enable ssh  # Enables SSH to start automatically at boot
+  sudo systemctl start ssh   # Starts SSH service immediately
+  ```
 
-1. Install Ethopy:
+## EthoPy setup
+
+### Step 1: Ethopy Installation
+
+Once your Raspberry Pi is set up, you can connect to it from your computer's terminal based on [Raspberry Pi documentation](https://www.raspberrypi.com/documentation/).
+
+1. Verify python version:
    ```bash
-   pip install ethopy
+   python --version
    ```
 
-2. Create configuration file at `~/.ethopy/local_conf.json`:
+EthoPy requires Python >=3.8, < 3.12
+
+2. Setting Up a Virtual Environment
+
+=== "Conda"
+    ```sh
+    conda create --name myenv python=3.x
+    conda activate myenv
+    ```
+    [More details](https://docs.conda.io/projects/conda/en/latest/user-guide/tasks/manage-environments.html)
+
+=== "venv (pip)"
+    ```sh
+    python -m venv venv
+    source venv/bin/activate  # On Windows use: venv\Scripts\activate
+    ```
+    [More details](https://docs.python.org/3/library/venv.html)
+
+=== "uv"
+    ```sh
+    uv venv
+    source .venv/bin/activate  # On Windows use: .venv\Scripts\activate
+    ```
+    [More details](https://github.com/astral-sh/uv)
+
+Once activated, proceed with installation.
+
+3. Install Ethopy:
+
+    ```bash
+    pip install ethopy
+    ```
+
+4. Create configuration file at `~/.ethopy/local_conf.json`:
    ```json
    {
        "dj_local_conf": {

+
+### Step 2: Database connection
 
-## Database connection:
 ```bash
 ethopy-db-connection     # Tests database connection to verify setup
 ```
 
-## GPIO Hardware Support
+### Step 3: GPIO Hardware Support
+
 Enable pigpio daemon for GPIO control:
+
 ```bash
 sudo systemctl enable pigpiod.service  # Enables pigpio daemon to start at boot
 sudo systemctl start pigpiod.service   # Starts pigpio daemon for immediate GPIO access
 ```
 
 Install GPIO libraries:
+
 ```bash
 pip install pigpio              # Python library for pigpio daemon communication
 sudo apt-get install python3-rpi.gpio  # Alternative GPIO library for Raspberry Pi
 ```
 
-## Display Configuration
+### Step 4: Display Configuration
+
 Configure display settings for GUI applications via SSH:
+
 ```bash
 export DISPLAY=:0                           # Sets display to primary screen
 sed -i -e '$aexport DISPLAY=:0' ~/.profile  # Persists DISPLAY setting in profile
 sed -i -e '$axhost +  > /dev/null' ~/.profile  # Allows X11 forwarding access
 ```
 
-## Screen Blanking Disable
+### Step 5: Screen Blanking Disable
+
 To prevent screen from turning off, run raspi-config:
+
 ```bash
 sudo raspi-config
 ```
-Navigate to "Display Options" → "Screen Blanking" → Set to "No"
+
+Navigate to "_Display Options_" → "_Screen Blanking_" → Set to "No"
+
+### Step 6: Run your first experiment
+
+```
+ethopy --task-path grating_test.py --log-console
+```
 
 ## Troubleshooting
 
 ### Common Issues
 
 1. **Display Issues**
+
    - Ensure DISPLAY is set correctly in ~/.profile
    - Check X server is running
    - Verify permissions with `xhost +`
 
-2. **GPIO Access**
+1. **GPIO Access**
+
    - Verify pigpiod service is running: `systemctl status pigpiod`
    - Check user permissions for GPIO access
 
-3. **Database Connection**
+1. **Database Connection**
+
    - Test connection: `ethopy-db-connection`
    - Check network connectivity to database server
-   - Verify credentials in local_conf.json
+   - Verify credentials in local_conf.json
