 # 1) You must have devstack up and running
 # 2) You must have hub installed (brew install hub)
 # 3) You must have a publickey set up with github (so hub can make your PR)
+# 4) You must have run the script here https://github.com/edx/testeng-ci/blob/master/scripts/create_incr_tickets.py
+#    in order to generate an input file used for bulk creation of INCR tickets
 
 # How To Run
 # 1) Have devstack up and running (via `make dev.up` in your devstack repo)
 # 2) On the command line, go into your edx-platform repo checkout
 # 3) Make sure you are on the master branchof edx-platform with no changes
-# 4) Run this script from the root of the repo, handing it your username, ticketname, and subdirectory to convert:
-#     ./scripts/py2_to_py3_convert_and_create_pr.sh cpappas INCR-1234 common/lib/xmodule
+# 4) Run this script from the root of the repo, handing it your username, and
+#    the path to the input file generated in the prerequisites.
+# Example usage
+#     ./scripts/py2_to_py3_convert_and_create_pr.sh cpappas ~/testeng-ci/scripts/output.csv
