-This script will get the price of SCP and update SCP/TB to a target price, defined in the script, if the difference is greater than a percentage also defined in the config file. It will always update the price if the new price is inferior to the current one.
+This script will get the current price from a XA-Miner and update your host SCP/TB to 0.994x of it. This is because the max change in price in a XA is 0.05, so being 0.06 below it we guarantee to be below the price when it changes.
 
 ## Instructions for Linux
 
 To install it donwload from the releases page and unzip in your system.
 
 $ cd scprime_price_check
 
-Edit the config.py and change the target price, the tolerance and base_cmd to your needs. I am using 3.9, 0.5. As we follow the xa-miners, if you use a value to close to the standard 4.0$, at some scans you will be above the limit, so better to lose some rent than to lose the incentives.
+Install de virtual environment
 
-You need to edit the base_cmd to match what you would be using to launch spc outside its directory. So something like '/var/lib/spc'.
+$ python3 -m venv .venv
 
-Then:
+$ source .venv/bin/activate
 
-$ python3 scprime_price_check.py
+Install python dependencies
+
+$ pip install -r requeriments.txt
+
+Install system requirements
+
+$ sudo apt-get install chromium-chromedriver
+
+Edit the config.py and change base_cmd to your needs. You need to edit it to match what you would be using to launch spc outside its directory. So something like '/var/lib/spc'.
+
+Switch to the user that has permission to change values in spd and test it.
+
+$ python scprime_price_check.py
+
+You will need a cronjob to execute it periodicaly.
+
+$ crontab -e
+
+And add a line similar to this one, that will execute the script every 2 minutes.
+
+*/2 * * * * systemd-cat -t "checkprice-cron" /home/daniel/scprime_price_check/.venv/bin/python /home/daniel/scprime_price_check/scprime_price_check.py
+
+You will be able to check the journal to see it working like this
+
+$ sudo journalctl -n1000|grep checkprice-cron
