 retriever-usvc depends on redis and tei, you should set these endpoints before start.
 
-## Installing the Chart
+## (Option1): Installing the chart separately:
 
-To install the chart, run the following:
+First, you need to install the tei and redis-vector-db chart, please refer to the [tei](../tei) and [redis-vector-db](../redis-vector-db) for more information.
+
+After you've deployted the tei and redis-vector-db chart successfully, please run `kubectl get svc` to get the service endpoint and URL respectively, i.e. `http://tei`, `redis://redis-vector-db:6379`.
+
+To install retriever-usvc chart, run the following:
 
 ```console
+cd GenAIInfra/helm-charts/common/retriever-usvc
 export REDIS_URL="redis://redis-vector-db:6379"
 export TEI_EMBEDDING_ENDPOINT="http://tei"
-helm install retriever retriever-usvc --set REDIS_URL=${REDIS_URL} --set TEI_EMBEDDING_ENDPOINT=${TEI_EMBEDDING_ENDPOINT}
+helm dependency update
+helm install retriever-usvc . --set REDIS_URL=${REDIS_URL} --set TEI_EMBEDDING_ENDPOINT=${TEI_EMBEDDING_ENDPOINT}
+```
+
+## (Option2): Installing the chart with dependencies automatically:
+
+```console
+cd GenAIInfra/helm-charts/common/retriever-usvc
+helm dependency update
+helm install retriever-usvc . --set autodependency.enabled=true
+```
+
+## Verify
+
+To verify the installation, run the command `kubectl get pod` to make sure all pods are running.
+
+Then run the command `kubectl port-forward svc/retriever-usvc 7000:7000` to expose the retriever-usvc service for access.
+
+Open another terminal and run the following command to verify the service if working:
+
+```console
+export your_embedding=$(python3 -c "import random; embedding = [random.uniform(-1, 1) for _ in range(768)]; print(embedding)")
+curl http://localhost:7000/v1/retrieval  \
+    -X POST \
+    -d "{\"text\":\"What is the revenue of Nike in 2023?\",\"embedding\":${your_embedding}}" \
+    -H 'Content-Type: application/json'
 ```
