 ### Prerequisite
 
+Ensure that the following are installed in your system:
+- `gcc-multilib`
+- `bridge-utils`
+
 Clone RIOT-OS in a directory on your filesystem.
 
 ### Run the server
 ```bash
 $ make all RIOTBASE=/path/to/riot-os; PORT=tap1 make term
-> ip
-```
-*copy the server address*
-
-```bash
 > tlss

 ### Run the client
 
-The default IP address assigned to all nodes is 192.168.7.2. Modify the default address in main.c and re-compile the client application after starting the server.
+The default IP address assigned to all nodes is 192.168.7.2. 
 
+In order to run two nodes, you must **modify the default address in main.c** and re-compile the client application after starting the server.

 $ PORT=tap0 make term

 ### Testing against host endpoints
 
 Riot-to-host can be tested against wolfSSL client/server. The default IP address assigned to the
