+# Microcks Workshop
+
+## Requirements
+
+- OpenShift
+- Microcks
+- Apicurio
+- A GitHub platform (either in the cloud or on-premises)
+
+## Setup
+
+- Deploy the [API Backend](api-backend/nodejs/)
+- Fork this repo in your GitHub platform
+- Update the URLs to match your environments in [config.toml](lab-instructions/config.toml)
+- Deploy the workshop instructions in your environment:
+
+```sh
+oc new-project microcks-workshop --display-name="Microcks Workshop"
+oc new-app centos/nginx-114-centos7:latest~https://github.com/nmasse-itix/microcks-workshop.git --name=microcks-workshop
+oc expose svc/microcks-workshop
+```
+
+If you want the Red Hat official image, adjust the previous command to replace `centos/nginx-114-centos7:latest` with `registry.access.redhat.com/rhscl/nginx-114-rhel7:latest`. Also, do not forget to change the URL to point to your GIT repository instead!
