 - execute `./run.sh --config_file <pipeline_definitions_file_path> --output_dir_file <destination directory>`. When `pipeline_definitions_file_path` is the path of the `pipeline_definitions.yaml` file that defines the pipeline and `destination directory` is a directory where new pipeline file 
 will be generated.

 ## Steps to generate a new super pipeline in KFP v1.
 - The super pipeline allows you to execute several transforms within a single pipeline. For more details, refer [multi_transform_pipeline.md](../../doc/multi_transform_pipeline.md).
 - Create a `super_pipeline_definitions.yaml` file for the required task. You can refer to the example [super_pipeline_definitions.yaml](./super_pipeline_definitions.yaml).
+- execute `make -C ../../../transforms workflow-venv` from this directory
+- execute `source ../../../transforms/venv/bin/activate`
 - Execute `./run.sh --config_file < super_pipeline_definitions.yaml> --output_dir_file <destination_directory>`. Here, `super_pipeline_definitions.yaml` is the super pipeline definition file, that you created above, and `destination_directory` is the directory where the new super pipeline file will be generated.
