 ## On Local Machine

+### 2. Ensure Keys are in Local Keyring
+
+You need to ensure that the key `user1` is present in your local keyring. To find the mnemonic for this key, open the file `test/e2e/test.utils.js`. In this file, you will find an object named `mnemonics`, which contains the mnemonics for different keys, including `user1` and `user2`.
+
+If you are going to run tests with `CYPRESS_AGORIC_NET=local`, use the mnemonic for `user1`. Otherwise, use the mnemonic for `user2`.
+
+Regardless of which mnemonic you choose, make sure to name the key `user1` when adding it with the `agd` command.
+
+**Note:** The test case for adding keys using `agd` from the CLI might fail. This is expected behavior and is fine when testing on your local machine.
 
+### 3. Adjust agops Path in Code
+
+These tests use the `agops` command for placing bids. Ensure that `agops` is properly configured on your computer.
+
+To adjust the file path for `agops` in code to match your local machine’s directory structure. Open the file located at `test/e2e/support.js` in your code editor. Go to `line number 10` and locate the path configuration for `agops`. Modify this path to match the actual location of agops on your computer.
+
+### 4. Running the a3p chain(optional)
+
+If you plan to run tests with `CYPRESS_AGORIC_NET=local`, you must start the `a3p` chain beforehand. To do this, use the following command:
+
+```bash
+docker run -d -p 26657:26657 -p 1317:1317 -p 9090:9090 ghcr.io/agoric/agoric-3-proposals:latest
 ```
+
+Alternatively, you can create an `a3p` chain from a specific branch in your `agoric-sdk` repository. To do this, navigate to the `a3p-integration` directory in your `agoric-sdk` repository. Install all necessary dependencies and build the project with:
+
+```bash
+yarn && yarn build
+```
+
+Once the build is complete, locate the Docker image you just created by running:
+
+```bash
+docker images
+```
+
+Find the hash of your new image and start the container using the hash:
+
+```bash
+docker run -p 26657:26657 -p 1317:1317 -p 9090:9090 {hash}
+```
+
+### 5. Run the tests
+
+Next, run the tests using the following command:
+
+```bash
 CYPRESS_AGORIC_NET=<network> yarn test:e2e
 ```
 
-where `network` can be: `emerynet` or `devnet`
