         topology_refactoring2 branch, but may be merged into the master branch soon. You may need to install some
         python modules such as networkx to use the STS functions.
 
+        To install sts:
+            $ git clone git://github.com/ucb-sts/sts.git
+            $ cd sts
+            $ git clone -b debugger git://github.com/ucb-sts/pox.git
+            $ sudo apt-get install python-dev
+            $ ./tools/install_hassel_python.sh
+            $ sudo pip install networkx
+
+        Include sts in your PYTHONPATH. it should looks comething like: 
+            PYTHONPATH=/home/admin/TestON:/home/admin/sts
