 For details on the Rust agent, please consult the [repository](https://github.com/keylime/rust-keylime).
 
+## Configuration
+1.  Install dependecies for the Ansible - GCP module 
+`$ pip3 install requests google-auth`
+2. [Create a GCP service account](https://developers.google.com/identity/protocols/oauth2/service-account#creatinganaccount) for ansible's use.
+3. [Create and download keys linked to this service account](https://support.google.com/cloud/answer/6158849?hl=en&ref_topic=6262490#serviceaccounts&zippy=%2Cservice-accounts)
+4. Add path to ssh key to ansible config (/etc/ansible/ansible.conf) \
+Note: the ssh private key is in the downloaded file. Extract it, place it in its own file, set adequate permissions, and add the path to this newly created file to the ansible config. \
+Example:\
+[defaults] \
+private_key_file = /home/user/my_key
+
+5. Set environment variables \
+`$ export GCP_PROJECT="<name of GCP project>"` \
+`$ export GCP_CRED_KIND="serviceaccount"`\
+`$ export GCP_CRED_FILE="<path to your service account key file>"` \
+`$ export GCP_ZONE="<zone for GCP instance>"` \
+`$ export GCP_REGION="<region for GCP instance>"` 
+
 ## Usage
-Run the playbook against your target remote host(s). Note: the hosts must have the vTPM enabled in the Google Cloud Console. 
+Run the playbook to create and set up an instance. 
 
 ```bash
-ansible-playbook -i your_hosts playbook.yml
+ansible-playbook playbook.yml
 ```
