+The code was designed to run on a RPi, but it will also run an some Linux distributions. We have tested it on Linux Mint 20 and Ubuntu 20 and 22. 
 
 The recording **will not** run on Windows, but most of other submodules will (astrometric calibration, viewing the data, manual reduction, etc.). The problem under Windows is that for some reason the logging module object cannot be pickled when parallelized by the multiprocessing library. **We weren't able to solve this issue, but we invite people to try to take a stab at it.**
 
 
-Here we provide installation instructions for the RPi, but the procedure should be the same for any Debian-based Linux distribution: [LINK](https://docs.google.com/document/d/19ImeNqBTD1ml2iisp5y7CjDrRV33wBeF9rtx3mIVjh4/edit)

 Alternatively, if you are using Anaconda Python on your Linux PC, you can install all libraries except OpenCV by running:
 
 ```
+conda create --name rms python=3.9
+conda activate rms 
 conda install -y numpy scipy gitpython cython matplotlib
 conda install -y -c conda-forge Pillow pyqtgraph'<=0.12.1'
-conda install -y -c anaconda ephem
+conda install -y -c conda-forge ephem
 conda install -y -c conda-forge imageio pandas
+conda install -y -c conda-forge pygobject
 conda install -y -c astropy astropy
+conda install -y pyqt
 pip install rawpy
 pip install git+https://github.com/matejak/imreg_dft@master#egg=imreg_dft
 ```
 
-To install OpenCV, use the ```opencv4_install.sh``` script. This will build OpenCV with gstreamer and ffmpeg support.
+If you want to use the machine for capture, you need to install OpenCV using the ```opencv4_install.sh``` script. This will build OpenCV with gstreamer and ffmpeg support. If you are not planning to run the capture but you are planning to use other RMS tool, you can install opencv using conda:
+
+```
+conda install -c conda-forge opencv
