+# Executing the example locally 
+
+After cloning the repo, with `git switch support_official` and switching to the proper branch `git switch support_official`, it is important to setup correctly the environment. To do so we recommend to use NIX + direnv.
+
+To run the example locally follow those steps:
+
+1. Enter the proper directory:
+   `cd example`
+2. Compile the code:
+   ```
+   cmake -S . -B build
+   make -C build
+   ```
+3. Copy the simulation to the directory `experiment`:
+   `cp build/simulation experiment/`
+4. Enter in directory `experiment`:
+   `cd experiment`
+5. Execute the script `script.sh`, this will launch a Dask scheduler, launch the Dask workers, execute the python code in `../derivative.py`, and finally run the simulation:
+   `bash script.sh`
+
+Note: after running it, if you finish the script with Ctrl+C it is important to kill Dask processes: `pkill dask`.
