 To test the MINT services on your local machine, we **strongly** recommend using the [microk8s](https://microk8s.io/) Kubernetes distribution. Follow the instructions in the [microk8s documentation](https://microk8s.io/#install-microk8s) to install microk8s on your machine.
 
-### Microk8s installation
+### Microk8s Installation and Setup
 
 Tested on MacOS (arm64) and microk8s 1.28/stable.
 Tested on Ubuntu 22.04 (amd64) and microk8s 1.28/stable.
 
+#### Before starting, ensure you have
+
+Sudo/Administrator access on the target machine.
+
+Snapd (for Linux) or Multipass/Docker Desktop (for Windows/macOS).
+
+Helm 3 (Included in MicroK8s).
+
+### Microk8s installation
+
 Install the microk8s using the following command:
 
+#### Linux (Ubuntu/Debian/CentOS)
+
+MicroK8s runs natively on Linux. This is the recommended environment for production-like testing.
+
 ```bash
-$ microk8s install --memory 8
-Support for 'multipass' needs to be set up. Would you like to do that now? [y/N]: y
+# Install MicroK8s
+sudo snap install microk8s --classic --channel=1.35
+
+# Fix Permissions (replace $USER if necessary)
+sudo usermod -a -G microk8s $USER
+mkdir -p ~/.kube
+chmod 0700 ~/.kube
+sudo chown -R $USER ~/.kube
+
+# Apply group changes without logging out
+newgrp microk8s
 ```
 
-Enable required addons:
+#### MacOS (Intel & Apple Silicon)
+
+MicroK8s uses a lightweight VM via Multipass.
+
+Download the MicroK8s Installer for macOS.
+
+For Apple Silicon (M1/M2/M3), ensure you follow the ARM instructions in the "MINT Services" section.
+
+
+#### Windows 10/11
+
+Download the [MicroK8s Installer for Windows](https://canonical.com/microk8s/docs/install-windows).
+
+Ensure WSL2 is enabled.
+
+Use PowerShell to run commands (prefixing with microk8s if not aliased).
+
+
+
+### Cluster Setup & Addons
+
+Enable the core components required for MINT to route traffic and manage storage:
 
 ```console
-$ microk8s enable dns
-$ microk8s enable dashboard
-$ microk8s enable hostpath-storage
-$ microk8s enable ingress
+microk8s enable dns
+microk8s enable dashboard
+microk8s enable hostpath-storage
+microk8s enable ingress
 ```
 
+### Test Microk8s
+
 To test, list the existing resources. It should be list multiple services, deployments, and pods. Please wait until all the resources are up and running.
 
 ```bash
-$ microk8s kubectl get all --all-namespaces
+microk8s kubectl get all --all-namespaces
 ```
 
 Verify the node status
 
 ```bash
-$ microk8s kubectl get nodes
+microk8s kubectl get nodes
+```
+
+
+### Install Portainer for MicroK8s (Optional)
+
+Portainer serves as a supervisor of your pods, where you can see and configure them graphically. 
+
+```bash
+microk8s enable community
+microk8s enable portainer
+```
+To see the status:
+
+```bash
+microk8s status --wait-ready
+microk8s kubectl get svc -n portainer
 ```

 ### MINT services installation
 
 Use the following commands to install the MINT services:
 
+#### Option A: Standard x86_64 (Intel/AMD)
+
+```bash
+microk8s helm repo add mint https://mintproject.github.io/mint
+microk8s helm repo update
+microk8s helm install testing-mint mint/MINT --namespace mint --create-namespace
+```
+
+
+#### Option B: ARM64 (Apple Silicon / ARM Servers)
+
 ```bash
-$ microk8s helm repo add mint https://mintproject.github.io/mint
-$ microk8s helm repo update
-$ microk8s helm install testing-mint mint/MINT --namespace mint --create-namespace
+microk8s helm repo add mint https://mintproject.github.io/mint
+microk8s helm repo update
+microk8s helm install testing-mint mint/MINT --namespace mint --create-namespace --set arm_support=true
 ```
 
 If you using MacOS Silicon, you need to install the `arm64` version of the postgresql database.
 
 **WARNING:** The arm64 image has not been tested and may not work as expected. Please use it at your own risk.
 
-```
-$ microk8s helm repo add mint https://mintproject.github.io/mint
