-Notice that you might have to install new packages (see the `KuramotoPopulationNetwork.jl` file to identify which ones).
+Open a Julia REPL in the directory, activate the project and load/install all required dependencies:

-using Graphs
-using Plots,ColorSchemes

+Apart from these packages, to run these examples we also need three other packages.
+Load (or install) them with:

+```
+using Graphs, Plots, ColorSchemes
 ```
 
 Then we can use `Graphs.jl` to generate a ring network with nearest neighbours:
