 ## Prerequisites
-
 To work on this Electron project, you must have the following installed:
-
 - **Conda**: A package, dependency, and environment management tool.
 - **conda-pack**: To pack Conda environments into tarballs.
 - **conda-lock**: To generate lockfiles for Conda environments.
+- **Node.js 22+**: Ensure that your Node.js version is at least 22 (tested with v22.10).
 
-Ensure these tools are properly installed and configured before proceeding.
+### Installation Notes
+- Install **conda-pack** and **conda-lock** globally or ensure they are available in the project's Python environment (e.g., a virtual environment).
+- Double-check your tool versions to avoid compatibility issues.

 ## Getting Started
-
 1. **Clone the repository**:
-
     ```bash
     git clone https://github.com/open-webui/app
     cd app
     ```
 
 2. **Install Node.js dependencies**:
-
     ```bash
     npm i
     ```
 
 3. **Generate the Python environment tarball**:
-
     ```bash
     npm run create:python-tar
     ```
+    > Note: This requires **conda-lock** to be installed and properly configured.
 
 4. **Start the development environment**:
-
     ```bash
     npm run start
     ```
-
     This will launch the project in development mode.

 ## Building Distributables
-
 To generate production-ready distributables (e.g., installers or app packages), run:
-
 ```bash
 npm run make
 ```
-
 This will create the necessary files for distribution in the `out` directory.

 ## Notes
+- Ensure **conda**, **conda-pack**, and **conda-lock** are installed and working within your environment (global or virtual).
+- Use Node.js **version 22+** to avoid runtime and compatibility issues (verified with v22.10).
+- If you encounter issues, examine the project-specific scripts in the `package.json` file for troubleshooting.
+- Always review logs carefully if commands produce errors to identify dependencies or configuration steps you might need to address.
 
-- Make sure you have the required versions of **conda**, **conda-pack**, and **conda-lock** to avoid compatibility issues.
-- If you encounter any issues, check the project-specific scripts in the `package.json` file.
