 ## TODO instructions
 
 - setup ~/.oci/config
-- set yourcompartmentid
+- oci session authenticate and make sure authentication is successful
+- use region where the OCI gen AI is available. Currently we are using chicago region. 
+- run pip install -r requirements.txt
+- check you config_rag.py file and make sure your api endpoint belong to chicago region and db which you want to use like chroma db or oracle db
+- set your compartment_id ocid inside the file i.e. init_rag_streamlit_exp.py and init_rag.py file
+- Changing the db type you need to modify at config file and you see the logic inside create_vector_store
 - podman run -d --name 23ai -p 1521:1521 -e ORACLE_PWD=<password> -v oracle-volume:/Users/pparkins/oradata container-registry.oracle.com/database/free:latest
 - create/config vector tablespace and user
 - add oracle database info for use in init_rag_streamlit.py / init_rag_streamlit_exp.py
-- run run_oracle_bot.sh /run_oracle_bot_exp.sh
+- run ./run_oracle_bot_exp.sh
