+## Installation guide for Schematic CLI users
+1. **Verifying Python Version Compatibility**
-## Installation guide for data curator app
+To ensure compatibility with Schematic, please follow these steps:
-Create and activate a virtual environment within which you can install the package:
+Check your own Python version:
+```
+python3 --version
+```
+
+Check the Supported Python Version: Open the pyproject.toml file in the Schematic repository to find the version of Python that is supported. You can view this file directly on GitHub [here](https://github.com/Sage-Bionetworks/schematic/blob/main/pyproject.toml#L39).
+
+Switching Python Versions: If your current Python version is not supported by Schematic, you can switch to the supported version using tools like [pyenv](https://github.com/pyenv/pyenv?tab=readme-ov-file#switch-between-python-versions). Follow the instructions in the pyenv documentation to install and switch between Python versions easily.
+2. **Setting Up the Virtual Environment**
+
+After switching to the version of Python supported by Schematic, please activate a virtual environment within which you can install the package:
```
python3 -m venv .venv
source .venv/bin/activate
```
+Note: Python 3 has built-in support for virtual environments with the venv module, so you no longer need to install virtualenv.

4. Install the dependencies by doing:
```
-poetry install
+poetry install --all-extras
```
This command will install the dependencies based on what we specify in poetry.lock. If this step is taking a long time, try to go back to step 2 and check your version of poetry. Alternatively, you could also try deleting the lock file and regenerate it by doing `poetry install` (Please note this method should be used as a last resort because this would force other developers to change their development environment)
-If you want to install the API you will need to install those dependencies as well:

-```
-poetry install --extras "api"

-## Installation Guide - Docker
-
-1. Install docker from https://www.docker.com/ .
-2. Identify docker image of interest from [Schematic DockerHub](https://hub.docker.com/r/sagebionetworks/schematic/tags)
- Ex `docker pull sagebionetworks/schematic:latest` from the CLI or, run `docker compose up` after cloning the schematic github repo
- in this case, `sagebionetworks/schematic:latest` is the name of the image chosen
-3. Run Schematic Command with `docker run `.
- - For more information on flags for `docker run` and what they do, visit the [Docker Documentation](https://docs.docker.com/engine/reference/commandline/run/)
- - These example commands assume that you have navigated to the directory you want to run schematic from. To specify your working directory, use `$(pwd)` on MacOS/Linux or `%cd%` on Windows.
- - If not using the latest image, then the full name should be specified: ie `sagebionetworks/schematic:commit-e611e4a`
- - If using local image created by `docker compose up`, then the docker image name should be changed: i.e. `schematic_schematic`
- - Using the `--name` flag sets the name of the container running locally on your machine
