+Each tutorial is rendered on this website for easy viewing 👀, but they are all Jupyter
+notebooks designed to be ran interactively 💫. See the instructions below on how you can
+start running the tutorials in no time! 🚀
+
+
+# 🌠 Quickstart
+
+To run these notebooks in an interactive Jupyter session online, 🖱️ click on the button
+below to launch on regular
+[Binder](https://mybinder.readthedocs.io/en/latest/index.html).
+
+[![Binder](https://mybinder.org/badge_logo.svg)](https://mybinder.org/v2/gh/GenericMappingTools/agu24workshop/main)
+
+Alternatively, you can go to a specific tutorial page, hover over the rocket 🚀 icon on
+the top right, and click 'Binder'.
+
+# 💻 Running the notebooks locally
+
+If you prefer to run the 🧑‍🏫 tutorials with a local installation of GMT/PyGMT, then
+follow along! For this AGU24 workshop, we recommend creating a virtual conda environment
+and installing the C and 🐍 Python libraries inside.
+
+:::{tip} For users comfortable with using `git`, feel free to ⬇️ download or clone the
+repository containing the workshop materials directly using
+`git clone https://github.com/GenericMappingTools/agu24workshop.git`
+:::
+
+Here's the instructions to install the `agu24workshop` environment:
+
+1. Ensure that you have the
+   [`conda`](https://docs.conda.io/projects/conda/en/latest/user-guide/index.html)
+   package manager installed (e.g. via
+   [`miniconda`](https://docs.anaconda.com/miniconda) or
+   [Anaconda](https://www.anaconda.com/download)). You can also use
+   [`mamba`](https://mamba.readthedocs.io/en/stable/installation/mamba-installation.html)
+   which tends to be a ⚡ faster alternative.
+
+2. Make a folder called 'agu24workshop'. This will be where you will put all the Jupyter
+   notebooks and data files 🗃️ used in the workshop.
+
+3. Download a copy of the 'environment.yml' file which contains a 📄 list of
+   dependencies required to run the tutorials in this workshop. Get it at
+   https://github.com/GenericMappingTools/agu24workshop/blob/main/environment.yml.
+
+4. Run the following commands on the 🧑‍💻 command-line to create the virtual environment
+
+    ```bash
+    cd /path/to/agu24workshop
+    conda env create --name agu24workshop --file environment.yml
+    ```
+
+5. Once the installation is completed 🏁, launch
+   [Jupyter Lab](https://jupyterlab.readthedocs.io) as follows:
+
+    ```bash
+    conda activate agu24workshop
+    jupyter lab
+    ```
+
+   This should open up a page in your default browser. If not, you can click and open
+   the 🔗 link that says `http://localhost:8888/lab?token=...` in your command-line
+   terminal and this will will take you to the Jupyter Lab page.
+
+6. Download the Jupyter notebook(s) you want to run (e.g.
+   https://www.generic-mapping-tools.org/agu24workshop/tut01_firstfigure.html) using
+   either the download button on the ↗️ top right (select '.ipynb') or from GitHub at
+   https://github.com/GenericMappingTools/agu24workshop/tree/main/book. Make sure to put
+   the *.ipynb file(s) inside of the 'agu24workshop' folder.
+
+7. Open the Jupyter notebook in the left-pane file browser, e.g. by 🖱️ double-clicking
+   on `first-figure.ipynb`. You are now ready to run through the course materials 🎉!
+
