 ## Komodod
 This software is the VerusCoin enhanced Komodo client, generally you will use this if you want to mine VRSC or setup a full node. When you run the wallet it launches komodod automatically.
-The walldt downloads and stores the block chain or asset chain of the coin you select. It downloads and stores the entire history of the coins transactions; depending on the speed of your computer and network connection, the synchronization process could take a day or more once the blockchain has reached a significant size.

 VerusCoin Command Line Tools v0.3.3-beta
 Contents:
+Brewfile - configuration for brew that specifies verus-cli requirements. Used via a "brew Brewfile" command. 
 komodod - VerusCoin's enhanced Komodo daemon.
 komodo-cli - VerusCoin's enhanced Komodo command line utility.
 verus - wrapper for komodo-cli that applies the command to the VRSC coin
 verusd - wrapper for komodod that sets the VerusCoin parameters to defaults properly
 fetch_params.sh - utility to download the zcash parameters needed to start the VerusCoin command line tools and scripts
 
+Command line tools are run from the terminal. You can launch the terminal on a Mac by using the Finder, selecting Applications and from that select Utilities, finally selecting Terminal from the Utilities folder.
+Change to the directory you extraced the verus-cli into in the terminal 
+cd ~/Downloads/verus-cli
+For example, if you extracted it directly in the Downloads directory. 
+
 The first time on a new system you will need to run ./fetchparams.sh before using komodod or verusd.
-You will need to install xcode from the Apple App Store and run the following two commands before running the command line tools:
+
+If you do not have brew installed you will need to install xcode from the Apple App Store and run the following command to get brew installed:
 ruby -e "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Homebrew/install/master/install)"
 brew install gcc@5
-
 If you already have xcode and brew installed you can skip those.
+Now you can simply run
+brew Brewfile
+and the correct dependencies will be installed for verus-cli to run.
+
 Run ./verusd to launch komodod, and use ./verus to run commands such as:
 ./verus stop
 Which signals komodod (if it is running) to stop running.
