 ### Running the SDK Sample Setup Script
 Before executing the samples we'll need to setup the vSphere test environment using one of the sample scripts. Before we run the script we'll need to edit one of the files and provide IP addresses for the various machine instances.
 
-First, from the command line change to the SDK ./bin folder.
+First, set PYTHONPATH to use SDK helper methods  
 
-```cmd
-$ cd /path/to/vsphere-automation-sdk-python-samples/bin
-```
+* Linux/Mac:
+
+    export PYTHONPATH=${PWD}:$PYTHONPATH
+
+* Windows:
+
+    set PYTHONPATH=%cd%;%PYTHONPATH%
 
 Next, using a text editor open ../samples/vsphere/vcenter/setup/testbed.py and edit the following settings replace everything in < > brackets with your environment information. Leave the rest of the settings in this file at their default values.
