 # Nillion Python Starter <a href="https://github.com/NillionNetwork/nillion-python-starter/blob/main/LICENSE"><img src="https://img.shields.io/badge/license-MIT-blue.svg"></a>
 
-This is a python starter repo for building on the Nillion Network. Complete environment setup, then run the examples:
-
-- To run multi party examples, go to the [multi party compute](examples_and_tutorials/core_concept_multi_party_compute) folder.
-
-- To run single party examples, go to the [single party compute](examples_and_tutorials/core_concept_single_party_compute) folder.
-
-- To run permissions examples (storing and retrieving permissioned secrets, revoking permissions, etc.), go to the [permissions](examples_and_tutorials/core_concept_permissions) folder.
-
-### Prerequisites: Install the CLI Dependencies
-
-The `nillion-devnet` tool spins up `anvil` under the hood, so you need to have `foundry` installed. The [`bootstrap-local-environment.sh`](./bootstrap-local-environment.sh) file uses `pidof` and `grep`.
-
-- [Install `foundry`](https://book.getfoundry.sh/getting-started/installation)
-- [Install `pidof`](https://command-not-found.com/pidof)
-- [Install `grep`](https://command-not-found.com/grep)
-
-## Environment Setup
-
-1. Create a `.env` file by copying the sample:
-
-   ```shell
-   cp .env.sample .env
-   ```
-
-2. Create the virtual environment (`.venv`), install dependencies, and activate the virtual environment
-
-   ```shell
-   bash ./create_venv.sh && source .venv/bin/activate
-   ```
-
-   Run the [`bootstrap-local-environment.sh`](./bootstrap-local-environment.sh) script to spin up `nillion-devnet`, generate keys, and get bootnodes, cluster, and payment info:
-
-   ```shell
-   ./bootstrap-local-environment.sh
-   ```
-
-3. Check `.env` file - keys, bootnodes, cluster, and payment info should now be present. If you want to run against a local cluster, use this configuration. Otherwise, replace values with testnet bootnodes, cluster, and payment info.
-
-4. Look through the [programs](./programs/) folder to see examples of Nada programs.
-
-## Compiling Programs
-
-Nada programs need to be compiled ahead of being stored. Compile all programs in the [programs](./programs/) folder with the script [`compile_programs.sh`](./compile_programs.sh):
-
-```shell
-bash compile_programs.sh
-```
-
-This generates a `programs-compiled` folder containing the compiled programs.
-
-## Store a Compiled Program
-
-Store a compiled program in the network with this script:
-
-```shell
-bash store_program.sh {RELATIVE_COMPILED_PROGRAM_PATH}
-```
-
-To store the compiled [`addition_simple`](./programs/addition_simple.py) program you can run:
-
-```shell
-bash store_program.sh programs-compiled/addition_simple.nada.bin
-```
-
-Storing a program results in the stored `program_id`, the network's reference to the program. The `program_id` is the `{user_id}/{program_name}`.
-
-## Testing
-
-Most examples and tutorials within this repository can be tested. Docker is required to run the tests.
-
-```shell
-cd testing
-bash run_tests.sh
-```
