-## 🎨 Styling with Tailwind CSS
-
-Verba's frontend is styled with Tailwind CSS, a utility-first CSS framework, along with global CSS classes for a consistent and modern design language. Here's how styling is managed:
-
-- **Tailwind CSS**:
-  - We use Tailwind CSS for responsive design and to apply styles directly in the JSX code using utility classes.
-  - For custom styling, the `tailwind.config.js` file can be modified.
-
-- **Global Styles**:
-  - Global stylesheets are located in the `styles` directory. These are used for overarching styles that apply to the entire application.
-
-- **Assets**:
-  - All static assets such as images and animations are housed in the `public` directory.
-  - These assets are referenced directly in the codebase and are automatically optimized by Next.js.
-
-By following these guidelines, you'll be able to contribute to the frontend of Verba effectively. We value your contributions and are excited to see the creative ways you'll enhance the Verba experience.

+# Installing Python and Setting Up a Virtual Environment
+
+Before you can use Verba, you'll need to ensure that `Python >=3.10.0` is installed on your system and that you can create a virtual environment for a safer and cleaner project setup.
+
+## Installing Python
+
+Python is required to run Verba. If you don't have Python installed, follow these steps:
+
+### For Windows:
+
+Download the latest Python installer from the official Python website.
+Run the installer and make sure to check the box that says `Add Python to PATH` during installation.
+
+### For macOS:
+
+You can install Python using Homebrew, a package manager for macOS, with the following command in the terminal:
+
+```
+/bin/bash -c "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Homebrew/install/HEAD/install.sh)"
+```
+
+Then install Python:
+
+```
+brew install python
+```
+
+### For Linux:
+
+Python usually comes pre-installed on most Linux distributions. If it's not, you can install it using your distribution's package manager. You can read more about it [here](https://opensource.com/article/20/4/install-python-linux)
+
+## Setting Up a Virtual Environment
+
+It's recommended to use a virtual environment to avoid conflicts with other projects or system-wide Python packages.
+
+### Install the virtualenv package:
+
+First, ensure you have pip installed (it comes with Python if you're using version 3.4 and above).
+Install virtualenv by running:
+
+```
+pip install virtualenv
+```
+
+### Create a Virtual Environment:
+
+Navigate to your project's directory in the terminal.
+Run the following command to create a virtual environment named venv (you can name it anything you like):
+
+```
+python3 -m virtualenv venv
+```
+
+### Activate the Virtual Environment:
+
+- On Windows, activate the virtual environment by running:
+
+```
+venv\Scripts\activate.bat
+```
+
+- On macOS and Linux, activate it with:
+
+```
+source venv/bin/activate
+```
+
+Once your virtual environment is activated, you'll see its name in the terminal prompt. Now you're ready to install Verba using the steps provided in the Quickstart sections.
+
+> Remember to deactivate the virtual environment when you're done working with Verba by simply running deactivate in the terminal.
