+### Prerequisites
+To start with the tutorial and use the notebooks you will need to create an environment 
+
+1. Create the environment from the `req.txt` file:
+```
+conda create -n "QML" 
+pip install -r req.txt
+```
+* Note: if you receive the error `bash: conda: command not found...`, you need to install Anaconda to your development environment (see "Additional resources" below)
+
+2. Activate the new environment:
+```
+conda activate QML
+```
+3. Verify that the new environment was installed correctly:
+```
+conda env list
