 ### Using [Block Explorer](https://github.com/matter-labs/block-explorer)
 
-A free open source block explorer is included with your hyperchain, and is accessible after running the local server. By default, you can access front-end `App` at <http://localhost:3010> in your browser. `API` should be available at <http://localhost:3020>, `Worker` at <http://localhost:3001> and `Data Fetcher` at <http://localhost:3040>.
+A free open source block explorer is available for your hyperchain. Block explorer contains three components [Worker](https://github.com/matter-labs/block-explorer/tree/main/packages/worker), [API](https://github.com/matter-labs/block-explorer/tree/main/packages/api), and [App](https://github.com/matter-labs/block-explorer/tree/main/packages/app), which you can run all together locally and connect to your hyperchain.
 
-#### Editing environment & configuration files for block-explorer
+Make sure you have your [zksync-era](https://github.com/matter-labs/zksync-era) repo set up locally and the `zk server` is running. The wizard in this guide allows you to run the server in the end. If you chose not to, you’re still able to run it by executing:

For that, you need to set up all the necessary environment and configuration files with your hyperchain settings. You can use a script to build them. See [setting up env variables](https://github.com/matter-labs/block-explorer#%EF%B8%8F-setting-up-env-variables).
+```bash
+zk server --components "http_api,eth,state_keeper,housekeeper"
+```
+
+### Running block explorer locally
+
+#### Install block explorer
 
-Once you have your [zksync-era](https://github.com/matter-labs/zksync-era) repo set up locally, you can run the following command to build environment and configuration files for block explorer based on your [zksync-era](https://github.com/matter-labs/zksync-era) repo configuration:
+Clone & install the block explorer repository:
 
 ```bash
-zk server --components "http_api,eth,state_keeper,housekeeper"
+cd /path/to/where/you/clone/repos
+git clone https://github.com/matter-labs/block-explorer.git
+cd block-explorer
+npm install
+```
+
+#### Setting up env variables
+
+Next you need to set up all the necessary environment and configuration files with your hyperchain settings. You can use a script to set them up:
+
+```bash
+npm run hyperchain:configure
+```
+
+#### Run block explorer
+
+Afterwards you can run the block explorer:
+
+```bash
+# if you are running block explorer for the first time
+npm run db:create
 ```
 
-The script generates all the necessary configuration files for block-explorer, which you can edit if you need any changes.
+```bash
+npm run dev
+```
+
+#### Verify block explorer is up and running
+
+By default, you can access front-end `App` at <http://localhost:3010> in your browser. `API` should be available at <http://localhost:3020>, `Worker` at <http://localhost:3001> and `Data Fetcher` at <http://localhost:3040>.
