 ### Option A: Dev Container or GitHub Codespaces (recommended)
 
-1. Open the [`drasi-python`](https://github.com/drasi-project/drasi-python) repository in VS Code and run **Reopen in Container** (or create a **Codespace** from the repo's **Code** menu).
-2. When prompted for a configuration, choose **Building Comfort Tutorial (Python)**.
