-### Installing PI
-This project uses the P4Runtime API to communicate with the switch. The P4Runtime API is implemented in the [P4Runtime Interface (PI)](https://github.com/p4lang/PI).
-
-When installing PI, make sure to configure with the `--with-proto` flag to compile proto files and `--with-python_prefix=/path/to/this/repo/.venv` to install the p4 library in your virtual environment. For example:
-```bash
-./configure --with-proto --with-python_prefix=/absolute/path/to/p4containerflow/.venv
-```
-After running:
-```bash
-sudo make install
-```
-The p4 library files in your `.venv` will be owned by the root user. Make sure to change owner by running:
-```bash
-sudo chown -R $USER .venv
-```
