For https://github.com/openjournals/jose-reviews/issues/21.

The current instructions simply tell users to run the notebook server, but they should probably also include cloning the repository, then moving into the directory, running the server, then opening the first notebook.

The README does specify that users should be using fresh notebooks, so they can simply view the nbviewer links in there instead of cloning the repo, but maybe instructions showing how to create a new directory, then opening a fresh notebook for each part of the lesson would be helpful.
