 ### Run (Without Docker)
 
 To run the application without using containers, you must have the latest version of [Python 3](https://www.python.org/downloads/) and [virtualenv](https://virtualenv.pypa.io/en/stable/installation/) installed. Once you have those installed, create a new virtualenv and install the Python dependencies:
 
 ```sh
-virtualenv .conditionalenv -p `which python3`
-source .conditionalenv/bin/activate
+virtualenv .venv
+source .venv/bin/activate
 pip install -r requirements.txt

+```sh
 flask db upgrade
+# or, to run it inside the container for use with local databases (DO THIS
+podman exec conditional flask db upgrade

 At the same time, if you change the database schema, you must generate a new migration by running:
 
-```
+```sh
 flask db migrate
+# or, to run it inside the container for use with local databases (DO THIS
+podman exec conditional flask db migrate
 ```
 
 The new migration script in `migrations/versions` should be verified before being committed, as Alembic may not detect every change you make to the models.
