+First, navigate to the python-examples directory and generate the gRPC Python code:
 
 ```bash
-python -m grpc_tools.protoc -I. --python_out=. --grpc_python_out=. python-examples/grpc_example.proto

 ```
 
-Or use the built-in setup command:
+This generates:
+- `grpc_example_pb2.py` - Protocol buffer message classes
+- `grpc_example_pb2_grpc.py` - gRPC service classes

+Alternatively, you can manually generate with:
 
 ```bash
 cd python-examples
-python grpcio-example.py setup
+python -m grpc_tools.protoc -I. --python_out=. --grpc_python_out=. grpc_example.proto
 ```

 Setup:
-    Before running, generate the gRPC Python code from the proto file:
-    python -m grpc_tools.protoc -I. --python_out=. --grpc_python_out=. python-examples/grpc_example.proto
+    Navigate to the python-examples directory and run setup:
+    cd python-examples
+    python grpcio-example.py setup
 
 To run:
-    1. Start the server: python grpcio-example.py server
-    2. In another terminal, run the client: python grpcio-example.py client
+    cd python-examples
+    1. Terminal 1: python grpcio-example.py server
+    2. Terminal 2: python grpcio-example.py client
 
 Note: This example uses insecure channels for simplicity. In production,
 use secure channels with TLS/SSL certificates.
