+This lesson is designed to be run on a personal computer. All of the software and data used in this lesson are freely available online, and instructions on how to obtain them are provided below.
 
 ## Install Python
 
-In this lesson, we will be using Python 3 with some of its most popular scientific libraries.
-Although one can install a plain-vanilla Python and all required libraries by hand,
-we recommend installing [Anaconda][anaconda-website],
-a Python distribution that comes with everything we need for the lesson.
-Detailed installation instructions for various operating systems can be found
-on The Carpentries [template website for workshops][anaconda-instructions]
-and in [Anaconda documentation][anaconda-install].
+In this lesson, we will be using Python 3 with some of its most popular scientific libraries. Although one can install a plain-vanilla Python and all required libraries by hand, the University of Manchester also maintains a [Jupyter instance][jupyter_hub_its], for which an active University of Manchester account is required, which we recommend you use for this training course.
+
+If you would prefer to install something on your machine yourself, we recommend installing [Anaconda][anaconda-website], a Python distribution that comes with everything we need for the lesson. Detailed installation instructions for this and other Python interfaces for various operating systems can be found on The Carpentries [template website for workshops][anaconda-instructions] and in [Anaconda documentation][anaconda-install].
 
 ## Obtain lesson materials
 
 1. Download [python-intermediate-data.zip](./data/python-intermediate-data.zip)
-2. Create a folder called `swc-python` on your Desktop.
-3. Move downloaded file to `swc-python`.
+2. Create a folder called `swc-python` on your Desktop or in the [Jupyter instance][jupyter_hub_its] opened above.
+3. Move or upload your downloaded file to `swc-python`.
 4. Unzip the file.
 
 You should see a folder called `data` in the `swc-python` directory on your
 Desktop.
 
 ## Launch Python Interface
 
-We recommend following the instructions in the setup page for [Programming for Python][prog_python_course]
-for launching the python interface.
+If you have launched the Jupyter instance as described above, then there's no need for you to do anything further.
 
+If you have downloaded or have your own Python interface already and are having problems starting or accessing it, there are various instructions in the setup page for the Carpentries course [Programming for Python][prog_python_course] for launching Python interfaces; we would suggest looking there for help or asking an instructor or helper for assistance.
