 # Bazel rules for creating Python virtual environments.
+
 See `example/` for an example.
 
 ## Installation
+
 Add the following to your `WORKSPACE`.
 
 (Note: see the releases page for release-specific `WORKSPACE` config)
 
-```
+```starlark
 load("@bazel_tools//tools/build_defs/repo:http.bzl", "http_archive")
 
 http_archive(
     name = "rules_pyvenv",
     strip_prefix = "rules_pyvenv-main",
     url = "https://github.com/cedarai/rules_pyvenv/archive/main.tar.gz",
 )
+
+load("@rules_pyvenv//:repositories.bzl", "py_venv_repositories")
+
+py_venv_repositories(
+    name = "py_venv",
+)
+```
+
+Add the following to your `BUILD`.
+
+```starlark
+load("@py_venv//:venv.bzl", "py_venv")
+
+py_venv(
+    name = "venv",
+    ...
+)
+
+```
+
+Run the following command to create a venv in directory _env_.
+
+```
+bazel run //:venv env
 ```
 
 These rules require a recent version of Python 3.6+ and `rules_python`.
 The environment is built using the `venv` library that ships with the Python standard library.
 If using the system-provided Python on Debian/Ubuntu, you may need to run
+
 ```
 apt install python3.8-venv
 ```
 
 On Windows, [you need to enable symlink support](https://bazel.build/configure/windows#symlink).
 
 ## Example
+
 ```
 $ cd example
 $ bazel run //:venv env
