+# Example platforms
+
+In this folder there are a few example platforms that can be used with Qibocal. To use these platforms, `platforms` folder needs to be added to `QIBOLAB_PLATFORMS` environment variable. If the qibocal directory is cloned in the `HOME` directory this can be done with
+
+```bash
+export QIBOLAB_PLATFORMS=~/qibocal/platforms
+```
+
+If there is more than one directory containing platforms they can be concatenated in this way.
+
+```bash
+export QIBOLAB_PLATFORMS=~/qibocal/platforms:<path_to_platforms>:<another_path_to_platforms>
+```
+
+This instructions can be added to the configuration file to avoid repeating the instructions for each session.
