Added more detailed info to run the tool, used the linux-friendly older jq formatting

 Now download the network definition file:
 
 ```
-bin/client getndf --gwhost "194.163.163.77:22840" --cert gwcert.pem > ndf.json
+git clone https://git.xx.network/elixxir/client.git
+cd client
+export GOPRIVATE="gitlab.com/elixxir/*,gitlab.com/xx_network/*,git.xx.network/elixxir/*,git.xx.network/xx_network/*"

+cd ..
+./xxclient getndf --gwhost "194.163.163.77:22840" --cert gwcert.pem > ndf.json
+cat ndf.json
 ```
 
+If it worked, you should see the ndf data.
+
 Now we can generate our targets file:
 
 ```
-jq '.Gateways.[].Address' ndf.json > nodes.txt
+jq '.Gateways[].Address' ndf.json | sed 's/"//g' > nodes.txt
+```
+
+And you should see:
+
+```
+% head nodes.txt

 Now we can run the stats command:
 
 ```
-go run . stats --input_file nodes.txt
+go mod tidy
+go build ./...
+go run main.go status --input_file nodes.txt > stats.json 
+python3 json2csv.py stats.json > stats.csv
