 <!-- GETTING STARTED -->
 ## Getting Started
 
-### Prerequisites
-
-Check that you have installed all the required libraries used in the toolbox. All packages with their tested versions are listed in [requirements.txt](https://github.com/AlbertGallegoJimenez/shoreline-evolution-tool/tree/main/requirements.txt). Note that when working with a cloned version of the ArcGIS ```anaconda``` environment there are already pre-installed libraries, those that are not and need to be installed manually are the following:
-
-* ```shapely```
-* ```statsmodels```
-* ```cartopy```
-* ```seaborn```
-* ```contextily```
-
-_From ArcGIS version 3.2, both ```statsmodels``` and ```seaborn``` packages are included in the base ArcGIS ```anaconda``` environment._
+### Input data
 
 In terms of data, this tool relies on the use of the following two files:
-* <ins>**Baseline**</ins> (Vector - Polyline). This is the reference line used to assess the evolution of the coastal stretch. It can be digitized manually by the user with the help of a background orthophoto, it is recommended to place the baseline **inland**. The baseline must capture the general orientation of the coast.
+* <ins>**Baseline**</ins> (Vector - Polyline). This is the reference line used to assess the evolution of the coastal stretch. It can be digitized manually by the user with the help of a background orthophoto, taking care to place the baseline **inland** (behind all shorelines). The baseline must capture the general orientation of the coast.
 * <ins>**Shorelines**</ins> (Vector - Polyline). These are the time series of the different shorelines on which the analysis will be based.
   * For the correct functioning of the tool, the file must have a **numeric ID** and **date fields**.
 
 > [!WARNING]
-> Note that both **Baseline** and **Shorelines** must be defined in a projected coordinate system, not a geographic coordinate system.
+> Note that both **Baseline** and **Shorelines** must be defined in a projected coordinate system.
 > These layers must be stored as **Feature Classes in the Geodatabase** of the ArcGIS project.
 
 ### Installation
 
-0. Make sure you have cloned the base ArcGIS ```anaconda``` environment so you can install more packages. More info [here](https://pro.arcgis.com/en/pro-app/latest/arcpy/get-started/clone-an-environment.htm).
-1. Install the required packages listed in the *Prerequisites* section  if they are not already installed.
-2. Download the content in the [src](https://github.com/AlbertGallegoJimenez/shoreline-evolution-tool/tree/main/src) folder.
-3. Open the Catalog Pane in ArcGIS Pro and open the downloaded Toolbox (.pyt) to see the tools.
+0. Make sure you have cloned the base ArcGIS Anaconda environment so you can install more packages. More info [here](https://pro.arcgis.com/en/pro-app/latest/arcpy/get-started/clone-an-environment.htm).
+1. Clone this repo on your computer.
+2. Check that you have installed all the required libraries used in the toolbox. All packages with their tested versions are listed in [requirements.txt](https://github.com/AlbertGallegoJimenez/shoreline-evolution-tool/tree/main/requirements.txt). To install the packages, follow these steps:
+   1. Open an Anaconda terminal and activate the cloned version of the ArcGIS Anaconda environment. (_If you don't have Anaconda installed on your computer, you can try to open the ArcGIS terminal located in "C:\Program Files\ArcGIS\Pro\bin\Python\Scripts\proenv.bat"_)
+   2. Navigate to the main directory of your local clone of the repo and install the packages via pip:
+      ``` shell
+        pip install -r requirements.txt
+      ```
+3. Open the Catalog Pane in ArcGIS Pro and add the Python Toolbox (.pyt) to see the tools.
