 ## How to Get Started with the Model
 
-Sample protein generation code:
+The simplest way to use these models and datasets is via the HuggingFace interface. You will need PyTorch, mamba=ssm, causal-conv1d, and flash-attn.
+
+**Requirements**: 
+* PyTorch: 2.7.1
+* CUDA 12.8 and above
+
+We recommend using [uv](https://docs.astral.sh/uv/getting-started/installation/#standalone-installer) and creating a clean environment.  
+
+
+```bash
+uv venv dayhoff 
+source dayhoff/bin/activate
+```
+
+In that new environment, install PyTorch 2.7.1. 
+```bash
+uv pip install torch==2.7.1 torchvision==0.22.1 torchaudio==2.7.1 --index-url https://download.pytorch.org/whl/cu128
+```
+
+Now, we need to install mamba-ssm, flash-attn, causal-conv1d, and their prerequisites.
+
+```bash
+uv pip install wheel packaging
+uv pip install --no-build-isolation flash-attn causal-conv1d mamba-ssm
+```
+
+To import from HuggingFace, you will need to install these versions:
+
+```bash
+uv pip install datasets==3.2.0 #for HF datasets
+uv pip install transformers==4.51.0
+uv pip install huggingface_hub~=0.34.4
+ ```
+
