 ## Prerequisites
 
 To follow this guide, you'll need to clone the ExecuTorch repository and install dependencies. 
-ExecuTorch requires Python 3.10, as well as  This example uses
-conda to manage the Python environment. 
+ExecuTorch recommends Python 3.10 and the use of Conda to manage your environment. Conda is not
+required, though be aware that you may need to replace the use of python/pip with python3/pip3
+depending on your environment.
