 Move into the ```ppf-contact-solver``` and let ```warmup.py``` do all the rest 💤:
 
+> [!NOTE]
+> If you’re suspicious, you can look around ```warmup.py``` before you proceed. Run `less warmup.py`, scroll all the way to the bottom, and hit `q` to quit.

 ```
 cd ppf-contact-solver
 python3 warmup.py

 > [!NOTE]
-> If you’re suspicious, you can look around ```warmup.py``` before you proceed. Run `less warmup.py`, scroll all the way to the bottom, and hit `q` to quit.
+> If you encounter issues in ```warmup.py```, you can try our pre-build Docker image ```ghcr.io/st-tech/ppf-contact-solver-base:latest```, which does not need to run ```warmup.py```.
+> See ``Dockerfile`` to learn how this image is built.
 
 Now we're set. Let's kick in the compilation!🏃
