 # Documentation and Tutorials
 
-Parcels has several documentation and tutorial Jupyter notebooks and scripts which go through various aspects of Parcels. Static versions of the notebooks are available below via the gallery in the site, with the interactive notebooks being available either completely online at the following [Binder link](https://mybinder.org/v2/gh/OceanParcels/parcels/main?labpath=docs%2Fexamples%2Fparcels_tutorial.ipynb). Following the gallery of notebooks is a list of scripts which provide additional examples to users. You can work with the example notebooks and scripts locally by downloading {download}`parcels_tutorials.zip </_downloads/parcels_tutorials.zip>` and running with your own Parcels installation.
+Shown below are several documentation and tutorial Jupyter notebooks and scripts which go through various aspects of Parcels.

 # Install an alpha version of Parcels v4
 
-During development of Parcels v4, we are uploading versions of the package to an [index on prefix.dev](https://prefix.dev/channels/parcels/packages/parcels). This allows users to easily install an unreleased version without having to do a [development install](../installation.rst)! Give it a spin!

 ```{warning}
 Before installing an alpha version of Parcels, we *highly* recommend creating a new environment so that doesn't affect package versions in your current environment (which you may be using for your research).
