 Dara is a hybrid model checker which verifies properties of distributed systems written in Golang. The Dara pipeline is implemented in three distinct git repositories.

-## How to install
+## Record/Replay Quickstart
+
+### Prerequisites
+
+- Go 1.4+
+- GOPATH environment variable set. You can check by running `echo $GOPATH`.
+
+### Installation
 
-To be able to run Dara, you must have all the following things installed.
 For doing Record/Replay, you only need to have godist and godist-scheduler installed.
 It is suggested that you install them in the following order.
 
-### Cloning Repos
+#### Cloning Repos
 
 Go packaging relies heavily on the GOPATH environment variable. We recommend that
 all your repos should be located under the GOPATH root.
 So, you should clone all repos as follows (this assumes that you have the GOPATH environment variable set) : 
 
 ```
-   > cd $GOPATH/src/github.com
-   > mkdir DARA-Project
-   > cd DARA-Project
-   > git clone https://github.com/DARA-Project/GoDist.git

+##### Environment setup
 
 Recording and replaying requires shared memory for IPC and for the environment to be set up for communication between the global scheduler and the local Go runtimes. This is automated by a run.sh script in the GoDist-Scheduler repo: [example run.sh](https://github.com/DARA-Project/GoDist-Scheduler/blob/master/examples/SimpleFileRead/run.sh)
 
 The same run.sh script is also used to record and replay exectuions.
