+You might need to install some utilities to be able to use the scripts in this repository.
+To install all required dependencies, use the following command:
+
+```bash
+sudo apt install moreutils bc lm-sensors
+sudo sensors-detect --auto
+```
+
+To make sure a script is runnable, always run it manually first, before setting up cronjobs.
+If the script produces any unexpected output, you might be missing utilities or the configuration.
+
 Please also quickly read the [CHANGELOG](CHANGELOG.md) and confirm this by running `date > /root/scripts/.last_changelog_read`.
 This will be helpful when updating the admin scripts later on.
