 ### Requirements
 
-The workshop requires [Docker](https://docker.com)
-and [Docker Compose](https://docs.docker.com/compose/) on your system
+The workshop uses Jupyter Notebooks. [Jupyter](https://jupyter.org/) is an interactive development environment suitable for documenting and reproducing workflows using live code.
+
+As the installation of all dependencies on all platforms (Windows, Mac, Linux) can be quite involved and complex this workshop provides all components within a Docker Image.
+
+In addition, geospatial web services like pygeoapi and pycsw in this workshop are provided by Docker images.
+
+The core requirement is to have Docker and Docker Compose installed on the system. Once you have Docker and Docker Compose installed you will be able to install and run the workshop without any other dependencies.
+
+Alternatively, if you're confident with Python development, you can run the notebook in a local Anaconda or Python environment. [Read more about running locally](#running-locally)

 - by default the web services pygeoapi and pycsw are not required for the regular workshop like FOSS4G
 - if you use pygeoapi: there is an issue with MacOS Monterey where the port 5000 is already used and therefore conflicting with that one used by pygeoapi. If you are facing this error `OSError: [Errno 48] Address already in use` then your machine is affected.
