 platform - just click on the `Environments` tab and start a new session.
 This will start an interactive environment right in your browser.
 
-To work with the project anywhere outside the Renku platform,
-click the `Settings` tab where you will find the
-git repo URLs - use `git` to clone the project on whichever machine you want.

-### Changing interactive environment dependencies
-
-Initially we install a very minimal set of packages to keep the images small.
-However, you can add python and conda packages in `requirements.txt` and
-`environment.yml` to your heart's content. If you need more fine-grained
-control over your environment, please see [the documentation](https://renku.readthedocs.io/en/latest/user/advanced_interfaces.html#dockerfile-modifications).

-## Project configuration
-
-Project options can be found in `.renku/renku.ini`. In this
-project there is currently only one option, which specifies
-the default type of environment to open, in this case `/rstudio`.
-
-## Moving forward
-
-Once you feel at home with your project, we recommend that you replace
-this README file with your own project documentation! Happy data wrangling!
