-The srsRAN Project supports split-8 and split-7.2 fronthaul.
+#### Split-8
 
-Split-8 fronthaul is supported via UHD for USRP devices.
+For Split-8 configurations, either UHD or ZMQ is required for the fronthaul interface. Both drivers are linked below, please see their respective documentation for installation instructions. 
 
 * UHD:                 <https://github.com/EttusResearch/uhd>
-  * See UHD documentation for installation instructions.
+* ZMQ:                 <https://zeromq.org/>
+
+#### Split-7.2
 
-Split-7.2 is supported via DPDK:
+For Split-7.2 configurations no extra 3rd-party dependencies are required, only those listed above. 
 
-* DPDK:                <https://www.dpdk.org/>
+Optionally, DPDK can be installed for high-bandwidth low-latency scenarios. For more information on this, please see [this tutorial](https://docs.srsran.com/projects/project/en/latest/tutorials/source/dpdk/source/index.html#). 
 
 Build Instructions
 ------------------
 
 Download and build srsRAN:
 
+<details open>
+<summary><strong>Vanilla Installation</strong></summary>
+
+First, clone the srsRAN Project repository: 
+
+```bash
+    git clone https://github.com/srsRAN/srsRAN_Project.git
+``` 
+
+Then build the code-base: 
+
+```bash 
+
+    cd srsRAN_Project
+    mkdir build
+    cd build
+    cmake ../ 
+    make -j $(nproc)
+    make test -j $(nproc)
+```
+
+You can now run the gNB from ``srsRAN_Project/build/apps/gnb/``. If you wish to install the srsRAN Project gNB, you can use the following command: 
+
+```bash
+    sudo make install
+```
+</details>
+
+<details>
+<summary><strong>ZMQ Enabled Installation</strong></summary>
+
+
+Once ZMQ has been installed you will need build of srsRAN Project with the correct flags to enable the use of ZMQ.
+
+The following commands can be used to clone and build srsRAN Project from source. The relevant flags are added to the ``cmake`` command to enable the use of ZMQ:
+
 ```bash
 git clone https://github.com/srsran/srsRAN_Project.git
 cd srsRAN_Project
 mkdir build
 cd build
-cmake ..
-make
-make test
+cmake ../ -DENABLE_EXPORT=ON -DENABLE_ZEROMQ=ON
+make -j $(nproc)
+make test -j $(nproc)
 ```
 
+Pay extra attention to the cmake console output. Make sure you read the following line to ensure ZMQ has been correctly detected by srsRAN:
+
+```bash
+...
+-- FINDING ZEROMQ.
+-- Checking for module 'ZeroMQ'
+--   No package 'ZeroMQ' found
+-- Found libZEROMQ: /usr/local/include, /usr/local/lib/libzmq.so
+...
+```
+</details>
+
+<details>
+<summary><strong>DPDK Enabled Installation</strong></summary>
+
+Once DPDK has been installed and configured you will need to create a clean build of srsRAN Project to enable the use of DPDK.
+
+If you have not done so already, download the code-base with the following command:
+
+```bash
+git clone https://github.com/srsRAN/srsRAN_Project.git
+```
+
+Then build the code-base, making sure to include the correct flags when running cmake:
+
+```bash
+cd srsRAN_Project
+mkdir build
+cd build
+cmake ../ -DENABLE_DPDK=True -DASSERT_LEVEL=MINIMAL
+make -j $(nproc)
+make test -j $(nproc)
+```
+</details>
+
+### PHY Tests
+
 PHY layer tests use binary test vectors and are not built by default. To enable, see the [docs](https://docs.srsran.com/projects/project/en/latest/user_manuals/source/installation.html).
 
-How to deploy a 5G network?
-----------------------------------------------
+Deploying srsRAN Project
+------------------------
+
+srsRAN Project can be run in two ways: 
+
+  - As a monolithic gNB (combined CU & DU)
+  - With a split CU and DU 
+
+For exact details on running srsRAN Project in any configuration, see [the documentation](https://docs.srsran.com/projects/project/en/latest/user_manuals/source/running.html). 
 
-Check our [tutorials](https://docs.srsran.com/projects/project/en/latest/tutorials/source/index.html) that describe how to set up an end-to-end 5G SA system with srsRAN Project.
