+
+```pip install -r requirements.txt ```
+
+### Running the launcher
+
+On the venv run it as a normal python script
+
+```python picodulce.py```
+
+Just make sure you have Java installed for running the actual game
 
 ### About the name
-The name "Picodulce" comes from a popular Argentine candy. This reflects the enjoyable and user-friendly experience that the launcher aims to provide, making game management straightforward and pleasant.
