+## General Notes
+
+1. You have not provided a testing guide for running the tests. See the existing documentation about how tests are run: https://github.com/hyperledger/solang/blob/main/docs/testing.rst
+
+2. There is an existing docker image for hyperledger already. The implemented soltution exists within that container.
+
+```
+docker run --rm -it -v $(pwd):/sources ghcr.io/hyperledger/solang compile -v -o /sources --target polkadot /sources/flipper.sol
+
+```
+
+3. Installation was successful.
+
+```
+You have 26 outdated formulae installed.

+🍺  solang was successfully installed!
+```
+Some of the documentaiton seems to be outdated. For example, the following command fails: 
+
+```
+solang compile --target polkadot examples/polkadot/flipper.sol
+```
+
+because there is no ***polkadot*** target, but rather ***substrate***. 
+
+```
+error: invalid value 'polkadot' for '--target <TARGET>'
+  [possible values: solana, substrate, evm]
+
+For more information, try '--help'.
+```
+
+4. Tested the solang new command and it runs successfully locally. 
+
+```
+solang new --target substrate
+```
