 ## `get_correct-set.sh`
 
 On the production machine `get_correct_set.sh` is set to run as cronjob on the root user.
+For the cron job to run successfully a virtual environment for Python 3.8+ must be created in `/home/cs334/mirrulations/scripts/.venv`.
 
-The current cron job is as follows:
+The command to do so is as follows
+
+```bash
+cd /home/cs334/mirrulations/scripts
+/usr/bin/python3.8 -m venv .venv
+source .venv/bin/activate
+pip install -r requirements.txt
+deactivate
+```
+
+Now `get_correct_set.sh` will be able to be run as a script.
+To add the cronjob to the root users crontab run the following
+
+```bash
+sudo crontab -e
+```
+
+Select an editor you feel comfortable with the line below if it is not already there

 0 */6 * * * /home/cs334/mirruations/scripts/get_correct_set.sh
 ```
 
+This line tells the cron daemon to run the script every 6 hours.
 Output logs are stored in `/var/log/mirruations_counts.log`.
