 If you do not have a preferred environment then I suggest following along with me exactly as you see on the screen, which means you'll need to install [Visual Studio Code](https://code.visualstudio.com/).
 
+## Don't forget to set up your workstation 😉
+
+Most of your work going forward will take place away from your Learning Lab repository, so before continuing with the course ensure you have the following installed on your **local machine**.  
+
+1. [Node.js](https://nodejs.org)
+2. [Visual Studio Code](https://code.visualstudio.com/) or your editor of choice
+3. [Git](https://git-scm.com/)
+
+
+### :keyboard: Activity: Configure your environment
+
+Now that you have all the necessary tools installed locally, follow these steps to ensure your environment is configured and ready for Actions.
+
+1. Open the **Terminal** (Mac and Linux) or **Command Prompt** (Windows) on your local machine
+2. Clone your Learning Lab repo to your local machine:
+   `git clone https://{{repoUrl}}.git`

+
+3. Navigate to the folder you just cloned:
+   `cd writing-javacript-actions`

+    <!-- ![alt text](https://media.giphy.com/media/duA6JVCuXbt5gKqNLw/giphy.gif) -->
+4. Create a new branch named `hello-world`.  This is the branch we will use to write our first Action.  **Please do not capitalize letters unless I do, I run case-sensitive checks to make sure I can help you along the way!**
+   `git checkout -b hello-world`

+   
+5. Create a new folder for our Actions files:
+   `mkdir -p .github/actions/hello-world`
+6. Navigate to the `hello-world` folder you just created:
+   `cd .github/actions/hello-world`
+7. Initialize the a new project with `npm init -y`
+8. Install the **core** and **github** dependencies from the [GitHub ToolKit](https://github.com/actions/toolkit) by typing `npm install --save @actions/core @actions/github`
+9.  Commit those newly added files, including `node_modules`, we will remove the need to upload `node_modules` in a later step
+10. Push you changes to your repository:
+    `git push -u origin hello-world`
+11. Create a new pull request from the `hello-world` branch to `master` with the title of `Hello Actions`
+    - Take notice that the pull request name `Hello Actions` is case-sensitive
+
+I will close this issue and continue responding to you in the `hello-actions` pull request once you have created it.
