+```bash
+pip install -e path/to/vuegen # specify location 
+pip install -e . # in case you pwd is in the vuegen directory
+```
+
+### Quatro installation

+```
+
+Test your quarto installation by running the following command:
+
+```bash
+quarto check
+```
+
 
 ## Execution
-``` shell
-python vuegen/main.py --config report_config_micw2graph.yaml --report_type streamlit 
+
+```bash
+python vuegen/main.py --config example_data/MicW2Graph/report_config_micw2graph.yaml --report_type streamlit
 ```
+
 The current report types are streamlit, html, pdf, docx, odt, revealjs, pptx, and jupyter.
