-## **Use your own notebook server**
+## **Option 2: Use your own notebook server**
 
-Video walkthrough:
+### Quick installation
+We recommend you create a Python virtual environment ([Miniconda](https://conda.io/miniconda.html) preferred but [virtualenv](https://virtualenv.pypa.io/en/latest/) works too) and install the SDK in it.
+```sh
+# install just the base SDK
+pip install azureml-sdk
+
+# clone the sample repoistory
+git clone https://github.com/Azure/MachineLearningNotebooks.git
+
+# below steps are optional
+# install the base SDK and a Jupyter notebook server
+pip install azureml-sdk[notebooks]
+
+# install the data prep component
+pip install azureml-dataprep
+
+# install model explainability component
+pip install azureml-sdk[explain]
+
+# install automated ml components
+pip install azureml-sdk[automl]
+
+# install experimental features (not ready for production use)
+pip install azureml-sdk[contrib]
+```
+
+Note the _extras_ (the keywords inside the square brackets) can be combined. For example:
+```sh
+# install base SDK, Jupyter notebook and automated ml components
+pip install azureml-sdk[notebooks,automl]
+```
+
+### Full instructions
+[Install the Azure Machine Learning SDK](https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/machine-learning/service/quickstart-create-workspace-with-python)
+
+Please make sure you start with the [Configuration](configuration.ipynb) notebook to create and connect to a workspace.
+
+
+### Video walkthrough:
 
 [![Get Started video](images/yt_cover.png)](https://youtu.be/VIsXeTuW3FU)
 
-1. Setup a Jupyter Notebook server and [install the Azure Machine Learning SDK](https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/machine-learning/service/quickstart-create-workspace-with-python)
-1. Clone [this repository](https://aka.ms/aml-notebooks)
-1. You may need to install other packages for specific notebook
-    - For example, to run the Azure Machine Learning Data Prep notebooks, install the extra dataprep SDK:
-    ```bash
-     pip install azureml-dataprep
-    ```
 
-1. Start your notebook server
-1. Follow the instructions in the [Configuration](configuration.ipynb) notebook to create and connect to a workspace
-1. Open one of the sample notebooks
+## **Option 3: Use Docker**
+
+You need to have Docker engine installed locally and running. Open a command line window and type the following command. 
+
+__Note:__ We use version `1.0.10` below as an exmaple, but you can replace that with any available version number you like.
+
+```sh
+# clone the sample repoistory
+git clone https://github.com/Azure/MachineLearningNotebooks.git
+
+# change current directory to the folder 
+# where Dockerfile of the specific SDK version is located.
+cd MachineLearningNotebooks/Dockerfiles/1.0.10
+
+# build a Docker image with the a name (azuremlsdk for example) 
+# and a version number tag (1.0.10 for example).
+# this can take several minutes depending on your computer speed and network bandwidth.
+docker build . -t azuremlsdk:1.0.10
+
+# launch the built Docker container which also automatically starts
+# a Jupyter server instance listening on port 8887 of the host machine
+docker run -it -p 8887:8887 azuremlsdk:1.0.10
+```
+
+Now you can point your browser to http://localhost:8887. We recommend that you start from the `configuration.ipynb` notebook at the root directory.
+
+If you need additional Azure ML SDK components, you can either modify the Docker files before you build the Docker images to add additional steps, or install them through command line in the live container after you build the Docker image. For example:
+
+```sh
+# install dataprep components
+pip install azureml-dataprep
+
+# install the core SDK and automated ml components
+pip install azureml-sdk[automl]
+
+# install the core SDK and model explainability component
+pip install azureml-sdk[explain]
+
+# install the core SDK and experimental components
+pip install azureml-sdk[contrib]
+```
+Drag and Drop

 You should always run the [Configuration](./configuration.ipynb) notebook first when setting up a notebook library on a new machine or in a new environment. It configures your notebook library to connect to an Azure Machine Learning workspace, and sets up your workspace and compute to be used by many of the other examples.

 1) Check that you have selected correct kernel in jupyter notebook.  The kernel is displayed in the top right of the notebook page.  It can be changed using the `Kernel | Change Kernel` menu option.  For Azure Notebooks, it should be `Python 3.6`.  For local conda environments, it should be the conda envioronment name that you specified in automl_setup.  The default is azure_automl.  Note that the kernel is saved as part of the notebook.  So, if you switch to a new conda environment, you will have to select the new kernel in the notebook.
 2) Check that the notebook is for the SDK version that you are using.  You can check the SDK version by executing `azureml.core.VERSION` in a jupyter notebook cell.  You can download previous version of the sample notebooks from GitHub by clicking the `Branch` button, selecting the `Tags` tab and then selecting the version.
 
+## Numpy import fails on Windows
+Some Windows environments see an error loading numpy with the latest Python version 3.6.8.  If you see this issue, try with Python version 3.6.7.
+
 ## Remote run: DsvmCompute.create fails 
 There are several reasons why the DsvmCompute.create can fail.  The reason is usually in the error message but you have to look at the end of the error message for the detailed reason.  Some common reasons are:
 1) `Compute name is invalid, it should start with a letter, be between 2 and 16 character, and only include letters (a-zA-Z), numbers (0-9) and \'-\'.`  Note that underscore is not allowed in the name.
