377- A link will be provided in an email prior to the tutorial for the WRF-ARW
378- data files used for the examples. If you did not receive this email, the link
379- will also be provided at the tutorial itself.
377+ The wrf_python_tutorial git repository linked to in Step 5 includes a directory
378+ containing several WRF-ARW data files which will be used for examples during
379+ the tutorial.

381381You also have the option of using your own data files for the tutorial by
382382modifying the first Jupyter Notebook cell to point to your data set.
383383However, there is no guarantee that every cell in your workbook will work
384384without some modifications (e.g. cross section lines will be drawn outside of
385385your domain).

390- 2. If you hover your mouse over the wrf_tutorial_data.zip file, you'll see
391- an empty check box appear next to the file name. Click this check
392- box.

397- 4. The download was most likely placed in to your ~/Downloads folder
398- [%HOMEPATH%\\ Downloads for Windows]. Using your preferred method of choice
399- for unzipping files, unzip this file in to your home directory. Your data
400- should now be in ~/wrf_tutorial_data

403- 5. Verify that you have three WRF output files in that directory.
387+ 1. If you have recently cloned the wrf_python_tutorial git repository, then
388+ you should have a "wrf_tutorial_data" directory at the root level of the
389+ "wrf_python_tutorial" directory.
390+
391+ 2. If this directory does not exist, try running the following commands
392+ from within the "wrf_python_tutorial" directory to update your local
393+ copy of the git repository::
394+
395+ git checkout -- .
396+ git pull
397+ git submodule init
398+ git submodule update
399+ cd wrf_tutorial_data
400+ git checkout -- .

402+ 3. Verify that you have three WRF output files in the "wrf_tutorial_data"
403+ directory::
404+
405+ $ ls wrf_tutorial_data
