 ## Setup
 This quickstart describes the required setup to run `ocean.py` flows.
 
-### 🏗 Installation
-
-#### ⚙️ Prerequisites
+### 1. Prerequisites
 
 -   Linux/MacOS
 -   [Docker](https://docs.docker.com/engine/install/), [Docker Compose](https://docs.docker.com/compose/install/), [allowing non-root users](https://www.thegeekdiary.com/run-docker-as-a-non-root-user/)
 -   Python 3.8.5 - Python 3.10.4
 
+### 2. Download barge and run services
+
+Ocean `barge` runs ganache (local blockchain), Provider (data service), and Aquarius (metadata cache).
+
 In a new console:
 
+```console
+# Grab repo
+git clone https://github.com/oceanprotocol/barge
+cd barge
+
+# Clean up old containers (to be sure)
+docker system prune -a --volumes
+
+# Run barge: start Ganache, Provider, Aquarius; deploy contracts; update ~/.ocean
+./start_ocean.sh
+```
+
+Now that we have barge running, we can mostly ignore its console while it runs.
+
+### 3. Install ocean.py library

+In a *new* console (separate from barge):

-##### Install the library

 # Avoid errors for the step that follows
 pip3 install wheel
 
 # Install Ocean library. Allow pre-releases to get the latest v4 version.
 pip3 install --pre ocean-lib

-#### ⚠️ Known issues
-
-- for M1 processors, `coincurve` and `cryptography` installation may fail due to missing packages, which come pre-packaged in other operating systems. Make sure you have `autoconf`, `automake` and `libtool` installed, e.g. using Homebrew or MacPorts.
+#### Potential issues & workarounds
 
-- Mac users: if you encounter an "Unsupported Architecture" issue, then install including ARCHFLAGS: `ARCHFLAGS="-arch x86_64" pip install ocean-lib`. [[Details](https://github.com/oceanprotocol/ocean.py/issues/486).]
+- Issue: if you have an Apple M1 processor, `coincurve` and `cryptography` installation may fail due to dependency/compilation issues.
+- Workaround: install them individually: `pip3 install coincurve && pip3 install cryptography`
