-## Software Dependencies
-
-### Linux Users: Tkinter Dependency
-
-If you are running PICA on Linux, you need to ensure that `tkinter` is installed on your system. `tkinter` is a standard Python interface to the Tk GUI toolkit, and it is often not included by default in minimal Python installations.
-
-To install `tkinter` on Debian/Ubuntu-based distributions, use the following command:
-
-```bash
-sudo apt-get install python3-tk
-```
-
-For other Linux distributions, please consult your package manager's documentation for the equivalent command to install `python3-tk` or `tkinter`.

+### Experimental Linux Instructions
+
+For users who wish to experiment with PICA on Linux, please be aware of the following:
+
+1.  **Tkinter Dependency (Linux):**
+    On Linux, you must ensure `tkinter` is installed. It is often not included by default.
+    -   On Debian/Ubuntu: `sudo apt-get install python3-tk`
+    -   For other distributions, use your package manager to install `python3-tk`.

+2.  **Virtual Environment Activation (Linux):**
+    To activate the virtual environment, use the following command:
+    ```bash
+    source venv/bin/activate
+    ```
