-### Preparation for Windows (beginners guide)
-
-1. [Download](https://github.com/PowerGridModel/power-grid-model-workshop/archive/refs/heads/main.zip) (or 
-   checkout) this workshop/repository and remember the destination location. For example: 
-   `C:\Users\YourUserName\Downloads\power-grid-model-workshop`.
-
-1. Install the latest [Python](https://www.python.org/ftp/python/3.10.7/python-3.10.7-amd64.exe) version.
-   You probably want the **Windows installer (64-bit)** under **Stable Release**.
-
-1. Now open a terminal (Windows-Key + R, type `cmd`, press **OK**) and use the `cd` (change dir) command to navigate
-   to the folder where you downloaded the workshop. For example:
-   ```shell
-   C:\Users\YourUserName> cd Downloads\power-grid-model-workshop
-   C:\Users\YourUserName\Downloads\power-grid-model-workshop>_
-   ```
-1. Optional: Create and activate a virtual environment. You can skip this step, but it helps you to keep your system
-   clean, as we will be installing about 70 Python packages in the next step.
-   ```shell
-   > python -m venv venv
-   > venv\Scripts\activate
-   ```
-1. install Power Grid Model and some other packages we'll use for this workshop:
+### Preparation with uv (Windows/Mac/Linux)
+1. Open a terminal
+   - Windows: Press `Windows-Key + R`, type `cmd`, press **OK**
+   - Mac/Linux: Open a terminal
+1. Download or clone this workshop/repository
+   - if you download the repository, remember the destination location. For example:
+     - Windows:`C:\Users\YourUserName\Downloads\power-grid-model-workshop`
+     - Mac/Linux: `~/Downloads/power-grid-model-workshop`
+1. Install the `uv` package manager [link](https://docs.astral.sh/uv/getting-started/installation)
+for your operating system (Windows/Mac/Linux)
+1. Navigate to the repository folder
+    - Windows: `cd Downloads\power-grid-model-workshop`
+    - Mac/Linux: `cd ~/Downloads/power-grid-model-workshop`
+1. Setup python environment and install dependencies using `uv`:
     ```shell
-    > pip install .
+    uv sync
     ```
-1. Now run jupyter notebook. It will probably (depending on your system) automatically open a browser at
+1. Start jupyter notebook. It will probably (depending on your system) automatically open a browser at
    http://localhost:8888. If not, the console output will tell you where to find the jupyter notebook server.
     ```shell
-    > jupyter notebook
+    uv run jupyter notebook
     ```
 1. Try any of the `.ipynb` files, for example
    [`Power Flow Example.ipynb`](http://localhost:8888/notebooks/examples/Power%20Flow%20Example.ipynb) and press the `>>` 
    button to run the entire file. Note that the last section in the Power Flow Example is about error handling, so 
    don't get scared if you see some error messages there.

 ### Next time, pick up where you left off
 
-1. Open a terminal (Windows-Key + R, type `cmd`, press **OK**) and use the `cd` (change dir) command to navigate
-   to the folder where you downloaded the workshop. For example:
-   ```shell
-   C:\Users\YourUserName> cd Downloads\power-grid-model-workshop
-   C:\Users\YourUserName\Downloads\power-grid-model-workshop>_
-   ```
-2. Optional: Activate the virtual environment (if you created one initially).
-   ```shell
-   > venv\Scripts\activate
-   ```
-3. Run jupyter notebook. It will probably (depending on your system) automatically open a browser at
+1. Again, open a terminal
+   - Windows: Press `Windows-Key + R`, type `cmd`, press **OK**
+   - Mac/Linux: Open a terminal
+1. Navigate to the repository folder
+   - Example:
+     - Windows: `cd Downloads\power-grid-model-workshop`
+     - Mac/Linux: `cd ~/Downloads/power-grid-model-workshop`
+
+1. Start jupyter notebook. It will probably (depending on your system) automatically open a browser at
    http://localhost:8888. If not, the console output will tell you where to find the jupyter notebook server.
     ```shell
-    > jupyter notebook
-    ```
-    
-### Preparation for WSL2 or Linux (for advanced users)
-
-If you know WSL2/Linux you should be able to configure environment yourself.
-
-```shell
-> pip install .
-> jupyter notebook
-```
-
-Open the jupyter notebook [`Power Flow Example.ipynb`](http://localhost:8888/Power%20Flow%20Example.ipynb), try to run it. 
+    uv run jupyter notebook
