 How to run sample codes
 -------------------------
 
-1. Clone this repo and go into dir.
+In this chapter, we will explain the setup process for running each sample code
+in PythonRobotics and describe the contents of each directory.
+
+Steps to setup and run sample codes
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+1. Install `Python 3.12.x`_
+
+Note that older versions of Python3 might work, but we recommend using
+the specified version, because the sample codes are only tested with it.
+
+2. If you prefer to use conda for package management, install
+Anaconda or Miniconda to use `conda`_ command.

+Directory structure
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+The top-level directory structure of PythonRobotics is as follows:
+
+Sample codes directories:
+
+- `AerialNavigation`_ : the sample codes of aerial navigation algorithms for drones and rocket landing.
+- `ArmNavigation`_ : the sample codes of arm navigation algorithms for robotic arms.
+- `Localization`_ : the sample codes of localization algorithms.
+- `Bipedal`_ : the sample codes of bipedal walking algorithms for legged robots.
+- `Control`_ : the sample codes of control algorithms for robotic systems.
+- `Mapping`_ : the sample codes of mapping or obstacle shape recognition algorithms.
+- `PathPlanning`_ : the sample codes of path planning algorithms.
+- `PathTracking`_ : the sample codes of path tracking algorithms for car like robots.
+- `SLAM`_ : the sample codes of SLAM algorithms.
+
+Other directories:
+
+- `docs`_ : This directory contains the documentation of PythonRobotics.
+- `requirements`_ : This directory contains the requirements management files.
+- `tests`_ : This directory contains the unit test files.
+- `utils`_ : This directory contains utility functions used in some sample codes in common.
+- `.github`_ : This directory contains the GitHub Actions configuration files.
+- `.circleci`_ : This directory contains the CircleCI configuration files.
+
+The structure of this document is the same as that of the sample code
+directories mentioned above.
