+We request you to share a PDF Instruction sheet with the steps/ procedure to install the prerequisite software/ packages for the participants to follow.
 
 We strongly suggest that you try to plan your workshop carefully and focus on exercises, problems, and not do excessive amounts of theory. Also, do not waste too much time on the installation during your workshop. Try to give your participants a decent overview so they can pick up additional details on their own. It helps to pick one or two overarching problems you plan to solve and work your way through the solution of those.
