+## Clone this repository into your machine
+
+If you want to solve the exercises, run the examples or simply download the content get a local copy of this repository in your machine:
+```bash
+git clone https://github.com/nsg-ethz/p4-learning.git
+```
+
+We will periodically add new content to this repository (specially documentation and new examples), so make sure to check it regularly or `git pull` it from your machine.
+
+## Required Software
+
+In order to be able to compile P4 code, run it in a software switch (bmv2) and create virtual topologies with hosts, several dependencies and open source tools need to be installed first.
+
+Since the installation process can be a bit tedious and cumbersome we provide you with a [Vagrant](https://www.vagrantup.com/intro/index.html) script that automatically builds a virtual machine with all required software already installed. You can find the VM setup instructions in the [P4 Virtual Machine Installation](vm/README.md) document.
+
+> **Important**  
+> Some exercises or examples will only work (due to bug fixes) if you use the same version of `bmv2` and `p4c` that we provide. See the following [installation](./vm/bin/install-p4-tools.sh) script and use the same `commits`.
+
+### *P4-Utils*
+
+To run the exercises and examples we use [*P4-Utils*](https://github.com/nsg-ethz/p4-utils), an extension to *Mininet* to support P4 devices. It was strongly inspired by the original [*p4app*](https://github.com/p4lang/p4app) from the [p4lang](https://github.com/p4lang) repository.
+
+If you build the VM from the vagrant script we provide or directly download the OVA package you will have *P4-Utils* already installed, however if you already have the required software and use your own machine/VM you can manally install it:
+```bash
+git clone https://github.com/nsg-ethz/p4-utils.git
+cd p4-utils
+sudo ./install.sh
+```
+
+To update you just simply run:
+```bash
+cd /home/p4/p4-tools/p4-utils
+git pull
+```
