+echo "	Welcome to the Chisel Learning Journey!
+
+	This script will set your environment in the right manner for you to
+	start making first steps on the Chisel Learning	Journey.
+
+	The script has been prepared for and tested on Mint 18, which is the
+	recommended OS for the Learning Journey. For details on how to prepare
+	the virtual machine, please visit:
+
+	https://github.com/librecores/riscv-sodor/wiki/Chisel-Environment 
+
+	In case you are not running Mint nor any other Ubuntu-like OS, we
+	advise you to abort running this script.
+
+	First of all, the script will run tests to check whether
+	dependencies (git, make, autoconf, g++, flex and bison) are
+	installed. Each one that is missing will be installed.
+
+	Furthermore, it will install Java, SBT and Verilator on your system,
+	setting all of them correctly.
+
+	The script must be run with super user privileges, i.e. sudo
+	must come before \"./set-learning-journey\"
+
+	Please report issues to the e-mail given within the script header.
