-# Local Installation with Conda/Python
-
-## Prerequisite software
-
-This is a list of the prerequisites needed to run this library.
-
-1. **Conda** Install [conda](https://www.anaconda.com/docs/getting-started/anaconda/install) to create Python environments. (Note: Both Miniconda and Anaconda Distribution work for PyRIT. Read [this guide](https://www.anaconda.com/docs/getting-started/getting-started) for more on which download to choose.)
-
-1. **Git**. Git is required to clone the repo locally. It is available to download [here](https://git-scm.com/downloads).
-    ```bash
-    git clone https://github.com/Azure/PyRIT
-    ```
-
-1. **Node.js and npm**. Required for building the TypeScript/React frontend. Download [Node.js](https://nodejs.org/) (which includes npm). Version 18 or higher is recommended.
-
-Note: PyRIT requires Python version 3.10, 3.11, 3.12, or 3.13. If using Conda, you'll set the environment to use this version. If running PyRIT outside of a python environment, make sure you have this version installed.
-
-## Installation with conda
-
-This is a guide for how to install PyRIT into a `conda` environment.
-
-1. Navigate to the directory where you cloned the PyRIT repo.
-   Make sure your current working directory has a `pyproject.toml` file.
-
-   ```bash
-   # Navigate to the root directory of the repository which contains the pyproject.toml file
-   cd $GIT_PROJECT_HOME/pyrit
-   ```
-
-1. Initialize environment.
-
-    ```bash
-    conda create -n pyrit-dev python=3.11
-    ```
-
-   This will prompt you to confirm the environment creation.
-   Subsequently, activate the environment using
-
-   ```bash
-   conda activate pyrit-dev
-   ```
-
-   If you want to look at a list of environments created by `conda` run
-
-   ```bash
-   conda env list
-   ```
-
-   To install PyRIT dependencies run:
-   ```bash
-   cd $GIT_PROJECT_HOME
-   pip install .
-   ```
-
-   OR to install PyRIT in editable mode for development purpose run:
-
-   ```bash
-   pip install -e .[dev]
-   ```
-
-   The suffix `[dev]` installs development-specific requirements such as `pytest` and `pre-commit`.
-
-   On some shells quotes are required as follows:
-
-   ```bash
-   pip install -e '.[dev]'
-   ```
-   If you plan to use the [Playwright integration](../code/targets/10_1_playwright_target.py), install with the playwright extra:
-   ```bash
-   pip install -e '.[dev,playwright]'
-   ```
-
-   After installing Playwright, install the browser binaries:
-   ```bash
-   playwright install
-   ```
-
-   If you are having problems getting pip to install, try this link for details here: [this post](https://stackoverflow.com/questions/77134272/pip-install-dev-with-pyproject-toml-not-working) for more details.
-
-
-## Local Environment Setup
-
-PyRIT is compatible with Windows, Linux, and MacOS.
-
-If you're using Windows and prefer to run the tool in a Linux environment, you can do so using Windows Subsystem for Linux (WSL).
-
-Alternatively, you can run the tool directly on Windows using PowerShell.
-
-**Visual Studio Code** is the code editor of choice for the AI Red Team: Download [here](https://code.visualstudio.com/Download).
-
-## Selecting a Jupyter Kernel
-
-With a Jupyter Notebook (.ipynb file) window open, in the top search bar of VS Code, type `>Notebook: Select Notebook Kernel` > `Python Environments...` to choose the `pyrit-dev` kernel when executing code in the notebooks, like those in `examples`. You can also choose a kernel with the "Select Kernel" button on the top-right corner of a Notebook.
-
-This will be the kernel that runs all code examples in Python Notebooks.
-
-### Viewing Jupyter Variables
-
-To view the variables that are populated by code examples, go to `View > Output > Jupyter`.
-
-```{note}
-When constructing a pull request, notebooks should not be edited directly. Instead, edit the corresponding `.py` file. See [notebooks.md](8_notebooks.md) for more details.
-```
-
-## Populating Secrets
-
-See [this](../setup/populating_secrets.md) for more details on populating secrets.

+# Configure PyRIT
+
+After installing, you need to tell PyRIT where your AI endpoints are and how to initialize the framework.
+
+## Quickest Start
+
+Set three environment variables and run three lines of Python — no files needed.
+
+```{tip}
+**Using Docker?** Set these environment variables inside the container (e.g., in a JupyterLab terminal or notebook cell with `%env`), not on your host machine. In the container, `~` refers to `/home/vscode`. Alternatively, skip ahead to [Persistent Setup](#for-persistent-setup) — the Docker install already mounts your host `~/.pyrit/.env` into the container.
+```
+
+::::{tab-set}
+
+:::{tab-item} PowerShell
+```powershell
+$env:OPENAI_CHAT_ENDPOINT = "https://api.openai.com/v1"
+$env:OPENAI_CHAT_KEY = "sk-your-key-here"
+$env:OPENAI_CHAT_MODEL = "gpt-4o"
+```
+:::
+
+:::{tab-item} Bash / macOS
+```bash
+export OPENAI_CHAT_ENDPOINT="https://api.openai.com/v1"
+export OPENAI_CHAT_KEY="sk-your-key-here"
+export OPENAI_CHAT_MODEL="gpt-4o"
+```
+:::
+
+::::
+
+```python
+from pyrit.setup import initialize_pyrit_async
+from pyrit.setup.initializers import SimpleInitializer
+
+await initialize_pyrit_async(memory_db_type="InMemory", initializers=[SimpleInitializer()])
+```
+
+This gives you an in-memory database and default converter/scorer config — enough to run most notebooks and examples. Replace the endpoint/key/model for your provider (Azure, Ollama, Groq, etc.).
+

-
-## Choose Your Setup Approach
-
-You can set up PyRIT for development in one of two ways:
-
-1. **Local Installation with UV/Python** (this page) - Install PyRIT in editable mode on your machine
-2. **[DevContainers in VS Code](./1b_install_devcontainers.md)** - Use a pre-configured Docker container with VS Code

+### Prerequisites
 
-## Troubleshooting
+1. **Conda or Miniconda**: Download from [https://docs.conda.io/en/latest/miniconda.html](https://docs.conda.io/en/latest/miniconda.html)
 
-### uv command not found
+2. **Git**: Clone the repository:
+    ```bash
+    git clone https://github.com/Azure/PyRIT
+    ```
 
-Make sure uv is in your PATH. Restart PowerShell after installation.
+3. **Node.js and npm**: Required for building the frontend. Download [Node.js](https://nodejs.org/) (version 18+).
 
-### Import errors
+### Installation
 
-Ensure you're using `uv run python` or have activated the virtual environment:
+1. Create a conda environment with the correct Python version:
 
-```powershell
-.\.venv\Scripts\Activate.ps1
+```bash
+conda create -y -n pyrit-dev python=3.12
+conda activate pyrit-dev
 ```
 
-### Dependency conflicts
+2. Navigate to the cloned PyRIT directory and install in editable mode with dev dependencies:
 
-Try regenerating the lock file:
+```bash
+pip install -e .[dev]
+```
 
-```powershell
-Remove-Item uv.lock
-uv sync --extra dev
+3. Verify installation:
+
+```bash
+pip show pyrit
 ```
 
-### Module not found errors
+### Jupyter Kernel Setup
+
+Create a Jupyter kernel for the conda environment:
+
+```bash
+pip install ipykernel
+python -m ipykernel install --user --name=pyrit-dev --display-name "PyRIT Dev"
+```
 
-PyRIT is installed in editable mode, so changes to the source code are immediately reflected. If you see import errors:
+Then start Jupyter:
 
 ```bash
-uv sync --reinstall-package pyrit
+jupyter lab
 ```

+## Creating Your .env File
+
+```{tip}
+**Using Docker?** Create and edit `~/.pyrit/.env` on your **host** machine — the Docker Compose setup automatically mounts it into the container. You don't need to run these commands inside the container.
+```

+
+```bash
+mkdir -p ~/.pyrit
+cp .env_example ~/.pyrit/.env
+```
+
+2. Edit `~/.pyrit/.env` and fill in the credentials for your provider:

+
+The `.env_example` file in the repository root contains entries for **all** supported targets — OpenAI chat, responses, realtime, image, TTS, video, Azure ML, embeddings, content safety, and more.

 # Configuration File (.pyrit_conf)
 
-PyRIT supports an optional YAML configuration file that declares initialization settings — database type, initializers, environment files, and more. When present, these settings are loaded automatically so you don't have to pass them every time you start PyRIT. It (`.pyrit_conf`) is basically just a YAML file specifying how to call `initialize_pyrit`. You can try it yourself in the [PyRIT Configuration Notebook](../code/setup/1_configuration.ipynb)
+The recommended way to configure PyRIT. A `.pyrit_conf` file declares your database, initializers, and environment files in one place. PyRIT loads it automatically on startup, so you don't have to pass options every time.
+
+## Quick Setup
+
+```bash
+mkdir -p ~/.pyrit
+cp .pyrit_conf_example ~/.pyrit/.pyrit_conf
+cp .env_example ~/.pyrit/.env
+```
+
+Then edit both files for your environment. The `.pyrit_conf` tells PyRIT _how_ to initialize; the `.env` tells it _where_ your AI targets are.
 
 ## File Location
 
@@ -12,14 +22,46 @@ The default configuration file path is:
 
 PyRIT looks for this file automatically on startup (via the CLI, shell, or `ConfigurationLoader`). If the file does not exist, PyRIT falls back to built-in defaults.
 
-To get started, copy the example file from the repository root into your home directory:
+## Setting Up Secrets (.env files)
 
-```bash
-mkdir -p ~/.pyrit
-cp .pyrit_conf_example ~/.pyrit/.pyrit_conf
+The `.pyrit_conf` file works hand-in-hand with `.env` files for your API credentials. See [Populating Secrets](./populating_secrets.md) for provider-specific examples of what to put in your `.env` file.
+
+### Environment Variable Precedence
+
+When PyRIT initializes, environment variables are loaded in a specific order. **Later sources override earlier ones:**
+
+```{mermaid}
+flowchart LR
+    A["1. System Environment"] --> B{"env_files in .pyrit_conf?"}
+    B -->|No| C["2. ~/.pyrit/.env"]
+    C --> D["3. ~/.pyrit/.env.local"]
+    B -->|Yes| E["2. Your specified files (in order)"]
 ```
 
-Then edit `~/.pyrit/.pyrit_conf` to match your environment.
+**Default behavior** (no `env_files` field in `.pyrit_conf`):
+
+| Priority | Source | Description |
+|----------|--------|-------------|
+| Lowest | System environment variables | Always loaded as the baseline |
+| Medium | `~/.pyrit/.env` | Default config file (loaded if it exists) |
+| Highest | `~/.pyrit/.env.local` | Local overrides (loaded if it exists) |
+
+**Custom behavior** (with `env_files` field): Only your specified files are loaded, in order. Default paths are completely ignored.
+
+### Using .env.local for Overrides
+
+You can use `~/.pyrit/.env.local` to override values in `~/.pyrit/.env` without modifying the base file. This is useful for:
+- Testing different targets
+- Using personal credentials instead of shared ones
+- Switching between configurations quickly
+
+Simply create `.env.local` in your `~/.pyrit/` directory and add any variables you want to override.
+
+### Authentication Options
+
+**API Keys (Default):** The simplest approach — set `OPENAI_CHAT_KEY` and similar variables in your `.env` file. Most targets support this method.
+
+**Azure Entra Authentication (Optional):** For Azure resources, you can use Entra auth instead of API keys. This requires the [Azure CLI](https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/cli/azure/install-azure-cli) and `az login`. When using Entra auth, you don't need to set API keys for Azure resources.
 
 ## Configuration Fields
 
@@ -60,6 +102,35 @@ initializers:
 
 Use `pyrit list initializers` in the CLI to see all registered initializers. See the [initializer documentation notebook](../code/setup/pyrit_initializer.ipynb) for reference.
 
+#### Recommended Defaults
+
+Most users should enable the following initializers. These are what the `.pyrit_conf_example` ships with and are required for features like `pyrit_scan` and automated scenarios.
+
+| Initializer | What It Registers | When You Need It |
+|---|---|---|
+| `simple` | Baseline defaults for converters, scorers, and attack configs using your `OPENAI_CHAT_*` env vars | Always — provides the foundation for most PyRIT operations |
+| `targets` | Prompt targets (OpenAI, Azure, AML, etc.) into the `TargetRegistry` | **Required for `pyrit_scan`** and any registry-based workflows |
+| `scorers` | Scorers (refusal, content safety, harm-category, Likert, etc.) into the `ScorerRegistry` | **Required for automated scoring** and `pyrit_scan` evaluations |
+| `load_default_datasets` | Seed datasets for all registered scenarios into memory | **Required for `pyrit_scan` scenarios** — they need data to run |
+
+```{note}
+**Execution order is automatic.** Initializers are sorted by their built-in `execution_order` regardless of how you list them in the config: `simple`/`targets` run first (order 1), then `scorers` (order 2), then `load_default_datasets` (order 10). This ensures dependencies are satisfied — for example, `scorers` needs targets to be registered first.

+# Troubleshooting: Contributor Local Installation
+
+Common issues when setting up PyRIT for local development.
+
+## uv Issues
+
+### uv command not found
+
+Make sure uv is in your PATH. Restart PowerShell after installation.
+
+### Import errors
+
+Ensure you're using `uv run python` or have activated the virtual environment:
+
+```powershell
+.\.venv\Scripts\Activate.ps1
+```
+
+### Dependency conflicts
+
+Try regenerating the lock file:
+
+```powershell
+Remove-Item uv.lock
+uv sync --extra dev
+```
+
+### Module not found errors
+
+PyRIT is installed in editable mode, so changes to the source code are immediately reflected. If you see import errors:
+
+```bash
+uv sync --reinstall-package pyrit
+```
+
+## Conda Issues
+
+### Conda environment not activating
+
+Make sure you're using the correct activation command for your shell:
+
+```bash
+conda activate pyrit-dev
+```
+
+If `conda activate` doesn't work, you may need to initialize conda for your shell first:
+
+```bash
+conda init powershell   # Windows PowerShell
+conda init bash         # macOS/Linux
+```
+
+Then restart your terminal.
+
+### Package conflicts with conda and pip
+
+When using conda environments with `pip install -e .[dev]`, you may see dependency conflicts. To resolve:
+
+```bash
+conda deactivate
+conda remove -n pyrit-dev --all
+conda create -y -n pyrit-dev python=3.12
+conda activate pyrit-dev
+pip install -e .[dev]
+```
+
+### Jupyter kernel not finding PyRIT
+
+If Jupyter can't find your PyRIT installation, make sure the kernel is registered from within the activated conda environment:
+
+```bash
+conda activate pyrit-dev
+pip install ipykernel
+python -m ipykernel install --user --name=pyrit-dev --display-name "PyRIT Dev"
+```
+
+Then select the "PyRIT Dev" kernel in Jupyter or VS Code.

-# Install PyRIT Library
-
-## Choose Your Installation Method
-
-PyRIT offers three installation options for users:
-
-### Option 1: Docker (Recommended for Quick Start)
-
-If you want to get started quickly without setting up a Python environment, use our pre-configured Docker container. See the [Docker Installation Guide](./1b_install_docker.md) for complete instructions for running PyRIT in Docker with JupyterLab
-- Pre-installed PyRIT with all dependencies
-- No Python environment setup required
-- Works on Windows, macOS, and Linux
-
-**Use Docker if you:**
-- Want to get started immediately
-- Prefer not to manage Python environments
-- Want a consistent, isolated environment
-- Plan to use JupyterLab for interactive work
-
-### Option 2: Local Installation with Pip/uv
-
-For a traditional Python installation on your local machine, follow the instructions below.
-
-**Use local installation if you:**
-- Want to integrate PyRIT into existing Python workflows
-- Prefer a lighter-weight installation
-- Need to customize your Python environment
-- Want direct access to PyRIT from your system Python
-
-## Local Installation Instructions
-
-To install PyRIT using pip, make sure you have Python 3.10, 3.11, 3.12, or 3.13 installed using `python --version`.
-Alternatively, create an environment from the root directory as follows
-
-```
-uv sync
-
-```
-
-Next, check out our [docs](../index.md) and run the notebooks in your environment!
-
-{important}
-**Matching Notebooks to Your Version:**
-
-Notebooks and your PyRIT installation must be on the same version. This pip installation gives you the **latest stable release** from PyPI.
-
-1. **Check your installed version:**
-   ```bash
-   uv pip freeze | grep pyrit
-   ```
-
-   Or in Python:
-   ```python
-   import pyrit
-   print(pyrit.__version__)
-   ```
-
-3. **Match notebooks to your version**:
-   - If using a **release version** (e.g., `0.9.0`), download notebooks from the corresponding release branch: `https://github.com/Azure/PyRIT/tree/releases/v0.9.0/doc`
-   - The automatically cloned notebooks from the `main` branch may not match your installed version
-   - This website documentation shows the latest development version (`main` branch).
-
-4. **If you installed from source:** The notebooks in your cloned repository will already match your code version.
-
-### Option 3: Local Installation with Pip/Conda
-
-We highly recommend using Option 2, but if you would prefer to use conda, See the [Conda Installation Guide](./1c_install_conda.md) for complete instructions for running PyRIT in a conda environment

-# Populating Secrets - Quick Start Guide
-
-Before running PyRIT, you need to configure access to AI targets. This guide will help you get started quickly.
-
-## Fastest Way to Get Started
-
-The simplest way to configure PyRIT requires just two environment variables and three lines of code:
-
-```python
-from pyrit.setup import initialize_pyrit_async
-from pyrit.setup.initializers import SimpleInitializer
-
-await initialize_pyrit_async(memory_db_type="InMemory", initializers=[SimpleInitializer()])
-```
-
-This sets up PyRIT with sensible defaults using in-memory storage. You just need to set two environment variables:
-- `OPENAI_CHAT_ENDPOINT` - Your AI endpoint URL
-- `OPENAI_CHAT_KEY` - Your API key
-
-With this setup, you can run most PyRIT notebooks and examples!
-
-## Setting Up Environment Variables
-
-PyRIT loads secrets and endpoints from environment variables or `.env` files. The `.env_example` file shows the format and available options.
-
-### Environment Variable Precedence
-
-When `initialize_pyrit_async` runs, environment variables are loaded in a specific order. **Later sources override earlier ones:**
-
-```{mermaid}
-flowchart LR
-    A["1. System Environment"] --> B{"env_files provided?"}
-    B -->|No| C["2. ~/.pyrit/.env"]
-    C --> D["3. ~/.pyrit/.env.local"]
-    B -->|Yes| E["2. Your specified files (in order)"]
-```
-
-**Default behavior** (no `env_files` argument):
-
-| Priority | Source | Description |
-|----------|--------|-------------|
-| Lowest | System environment variables | Always loaded as the baseline |
-| Medium | `~/.pyrit/.env` | Default config file (loaded if it exists) |
-| Highest | `~/.pyrit/.env.local` | Local overrides (loaded if it exists) |
-
-**Custom behavior** (with `env_files` argument): Only your specified files are loaded, in order. Default paths are completely ignored.
-
-### Creating Your .env File
-
-1. Copy `.env_example` to `.env` in your home directory in ~/.pyrit/.env
-2. Add your API credentials. For example, for Azure OpenAI:
-
-```bash
-OPENAI_CHAT_ENDPOINT="https://your-resource.openai.azure.com/openai/deployments/your-deployment/chat/completions"
-OPENAI_CHAT_KEY="your-api-key-here"
-```
-
-To find these values in Azure Portal: `Azure Portal > Azure AI Services > Azure OpenAI > Your OpenAI Resource > Resource Management > Keys and Endpoint`
-
-### Using .env.local for Overrides
-
-You can use `~/.pyrit/.env.local` to override values in `~/.pyrit/.env` without modifying the base file. This is useful for:
-- Testing different targets
-- Using personal credentials instead of shared ones
-- Switching between configurations quickly
-
-Simply create `.env.local` in your `~/.pyrit/` directory and add any variables you want to override.
-
-### Custom Environment Files
-
-You can also specify exactly which `.env` files to load using the `env_files` parameter:
-
-```python
-from pathlib import Path
-from pyrit.setup import initialize_pyrit_async
-
-await initialize_pyrit_async(
-    memory_db_type="InMemory",
-    env_files=[Path("./project-config.env"), Path("./local-overrides.env")]
-)
-```
-
-When `env_files` is provided:
-- **Only** the specified files are loaded (default paths are skipped entirely)
-- Files are loaded in order—later files override earlier ones
-- A `ValueError` is raised if any specified file doesn't exist
-
-The CLI also supports custom environment files via the `--env-files` flag.
-
-## Authentication Options
-
-### API Keys (Default)
-The simplest approach is using API keys as shown above. Most targets support this method.
-
-### Azure Entra Authentication (Optional)
-For Azure resources, you can use Entra auth instead of API keys. This requires:
-
-1. Install Azure CLI for your OS:
-   - [Windows](https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/cli/azure/install-azure-cli-windows)
-   - [Linux](https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/cli/azure/install-azure-cli-linux)
-   - [macOS](https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/cli/azure/install-azure-cli-macos)
-
-2. Log in to Azure:
-   ```bash
-   az login
-   ```
-
-When using Entra auth, you don't need to set API keys for Azure resources.
-
