Before we begin, here are all the possible ways in which you can use ESMValTool
29+
depending on your level of expertise or involvement with ESMvalTool and
30+
associated software such as GitHub and Conda.
31+
32+
1. If you have access to a server where ESMValTool is already installed
33+
as a module, for e.g., the [CEDA JASMIN](https://help.jasmin.ac.uk/article/4955-community-software-esmvaltool)
34+
server, you can simply load the module with the following:
35+
~~~bash
36+
module load esmvaltool
37+
~~~
38+
After loading ``esmvaltool``, we can start using ESMValTool. Please see the [next lesson]({{ page.root }}{% link _episodes/03-configuration.md %}).
39+
2. If you would like to install ESMValTool as a conda package, then this lesson
40+
will tell you how!
41+
3. If you would like to start experimenting with existing diagnostics or contributing to ESMvalTool, please see the instructions for
42+
source installation in the lesson [Development and
43+
contribution]({{ page.root }}{% link _episodes/08-development-setup.md %}) and
44+
in the [documentation](https://docs.esmvaltool.org/en/latest/quickstart/installation.html).
