 ## Consensus spec tests
 
 Conformance tests built from the executable python spec are available in the [Ethereum Proof-of-Stake Consensus Spec Tests](https://github.com/ethereum/consensus-spec-tests) repo. Compressed tarballs are available in [releases](https://github.com/ethereum/consensus-spec-tests/releases).
+
+
+## Installation and Usage
+The consensus-specs repo can be used by running the tests locally or inside a docker container.
+
+To run the tests locally:
+- Clone the repository with `git clone https://github.com/ethereum/consensus-specs.git`
+- Switch to the directory `cd consensus-specs`
+- Install the dependencies with: `make install_test && make preinstallation && make pyspec`
+- Run the tests with `make citest`
+
+To run the tests inside a docker container:
+- Switch to the directory with `cd scripts`
+- Run the script `./build_run_docker_tests.sh`
+- Find the results in a folder called `./testResults`
+- Find more ways to customize the script with `./build_run_docker_tests.sh --h`

 The `scripts/build_run_docker_tests.sh` script will cover most usecases. The script allows the user to configure the fork(altair/bellatrix/capella..), `$IMAGE_NAME` (specifies the container to use), preset type (mainnet/minimal), and test all forks flags. Ideally, this is the main way that users interact with the spec tests instead of running it locally with varying versions of dependencies.
 
 E.g:
-- `./build_run_test.sh --p mainnet` will run the mainnet preset tests
-- `./build_run_test.sh --a` will run all the tests across all the forks
-- `./build_run_test.sh --f deneb` will only run deneb tests
+`./build_run_docker_tests.sh --p mainnet` will run the mainnet preset tests
+- `./build_run_docker_tests.sh --a` will run all the tests across all the forks
+- `./build_run_docker_tests.sh --f deneb` will only run deneb tests
 
 Results are always placed in a folder called `./testResults`. The results are `.xml` files and contain the fork they represent and the date/time they were run at.
