 ## We're thrilled to have you here with us! :blush:
 
-In this readme and the repo, you'll find a collection of useful resources related to the talk and the workshop, such as the ipyvizzu notebooks used throughout the sessions, along with some additional ones that I've prepared for you to experiment and learn more about our tool.

+- Vizzu builder app: https://vizzu-builder.streamlit.app/
+
+### Steps to start individual work
+- Check out and get through the installation guide below 
+- Fork the repo of the tutorial app (locally if you will) - https://github.com/vizzu-streamlit/streamlit-vizzu-intro/
+- Get some data! Check out the sample datasets in the tutorial repo (or within the data folder here; they are identical) and pick one you want to start working with. You can also use your own CSV or samples from the Vega datasets: https://github.com/altair-viz/vega_datasets
+- Create a new py file and reuse snippets from the tutorial examples - remember, most of them are in the pages folder
+- Use the builder app to generate ipyvizzu code: https://vizzu-builder.streamlit.app/ and reuse it within your app
+- Be creative! :)
+- Share your app using the Streamlit Community Cloud
+
+### Installation guide
+  **For Those With Experience in Python and Local Development:**
+
+If you're accustomed to working with Python packages locally and prefer having everything set up on your machine, this pathway is for you.
+
+- **Environment Setup**: Install Streamlit, streamlit-vizzu, and ipyvizzu-story (along with their dependencies) in a virtual environment. Both pip and conda are great options for this step.
+  
+`pip install streamlit streamlit-vizzu ipyvizzu-story`
+- **Download Sample Materials**: Grab the sample apps and datasets using [this link](https://github.com/vizzu-streamlit/streamlit-vizzu-intro/archive/refs/heads/main.zip). Download and extract the zip file to a convenient location on your computer.
+- **Get Ready to Share**: Planning to showcase your work publicly? Create a free account at [Streamlit Community Cloud](https://streamlit.io/cloud) to share your apps with the world. Keep in mind that Streamlit requests access to all your public repositories. If this raises any concerns for you, a straightforward solution is to create a new GitHub account.
+
+**For Those New to Python Packages and Local Setup:**
+
+If you're newer to the world of Python or prefer a setup that doesn't require local installations, we've got you covered.
+
+- **GitHub Account**: Ensure you have a GitHub account ready to go. If not, you can create one [here](https://github.com/join).
+- **Streamlit Community Cloud**: Set up your free account at [Streamlit Community Cloud](https://streamlit.io/cloud) to run and share apps directly from your browser.
+- **Get Coding in the Cloud**: Once registered, you can write code and work with sample apps directly in your browser through Codespace, with no local setup required. For more info on this last step, read this blogpost: https://blog.streamlit.io/edit-inbrowser-with-github-codespaces/
