 # Instructions
 
-We provide here the script `run_aiida_sscha.py`, which performs a thermal expansion calculation using SSCHA and aiida-quantumespresso. 
+We provide here some scripts to run SSCHA using AiiDA, FLARE machine-learning potential, and a combination of the two as on-the-fly active learning.
 
-It is preferable to execute the example that you already have some experience with both the SSCHA and AiiDA-QuantumEspresso codes. Nevertheless, you can try following the instructions and to run the example.
