 ### 3. Installing Python
 
 To install Python, we recommend the [instructions from Real Python](https://realpython.com/installing-python/),
 but of course many other instructions will do as well.
 
-### 4. Installing JupyterLab (Beginner's Course only)
-
-For the beginners course, you also need some non-standard Python packages, namely:
-   - jupyterlab
-   - bash_kernel
-
-To install these two packages, run the following commands in your terminal.
-
-If you have set up your SSH key, clone this Git repository by using the SSH protocol:
-```bash
-git clone [email protected]:C2SM/git-course.git
-```
-
-Otherwise, use the HTTPS protocol:
-```bash
-git clone https://github.com/C2SM/git-course.git
-```
-
-Navigate into the cloned repository:
-```bash
-cd git-course
-```
-
-Create a new Python virtual environment named *git-course_env*:
-```bash
-python -m venv git-course_env
-```
-
-Activate the newly created virtual environment:
-```bash
-source git-course_env/bin/activate 
-```
-
-Install the required Python packages specified in the *requirements.txt* file:
-```bash
-pip install -r requirements.txt 
-```
-
-Install Bash kernel for Jupyter notebooks:
-```bash
-python -m bash_kernel.install
-```
-
-To be able to access directories outside of the *git-course* repository in JupyterLab, you need to navigate out of the repository BEFORE launching JupyterLab:
-```
-cd ..
-```
-
-Finally, you can start with the exercises by running:
-```
-jupyter lab
-```
-This command will open the JupyterLab interface in your browser.
-If it does not open automatically, you will need to copy and paste the URL manually.
-In this case, please follow the instructions on your terminal.
-
-If you are not able to start JupyterLab for some reason, you can try to launch a Jupyter Notebook, which provides a simpler user interface:
-```
-jupyter notebook
-```
