-   cd bounswe2024group6/mobile/bulingo
 
+   `git clone https://github.com/bounswe/bounswe2024group6.git`
 
-2. *Install Dependencies:*
+
+   `cd bounswe2024group6/mobile/bulingo`
+
+
+3. *Install Dependencies:*
    Run the following command to install the necessary npm packages:
-   bash
-   npm install
+
+   `npm install`
 
 
-3. *Log In to EAS (if not logged in):*
+4. *Log In to EAS (if not logged in):*
    Ensure you are logged in to your EAS account:
-   bash
-   eas login
+
+   `eas login`
 
    (You will be prompted for your EAS account credentials.)
 
-4. *Build the Project Using EAS:*
-   To build the project for Android, use the following command:
-   bash
-   eas build -p android --profile preview
+5. *Build the Project Using EAS:*
+   To build the project for Android, you will have to first delete the `projectId` field from the app config. It should look like the following:
+
+   ```
+   ...
+   extra: {
+      eas: {
+      },
+      router: {
+        origin: false
+      }
+    },
+   ...
+   ```
+
+   You should then run the following command, which will prompt you to input a project id when you follow the steps presented.
+
+   `eas build -p android --profile preview`
+
+   Afterwards, you should update the app config accordingly. It will look something like this:
+
+   ```
+   ...
+   extra: {
+      eas: {
+        "projectId": "1b91f436-e301-4a27-aeb3-1c57be3bf9a2"
+      },
+      router: {
+        origin: false
+      }
+    },
+   ...
+   ```
+
+   Alternatively, you can build the application locally, but it has many more dependencies and you will have to deal with gradle. The command for it is this:
+
+   `eas build -p android --profile preview --local`
+
+   You will still need to login and change the projectId with the steps described above.
