+going to teach you a lot of things about Rust, but before we can get
+started, here's a couple of notes about how Rustlings operates:
+
+1. The central concept behind Rustlings is that you solve exercises. These
+   exercises usually have some sort of syntax error in them, which will cause
+   them to fail compilation or testing. Sometimes there's a logic error instead
+   of a syntax error. No matter what error, it's your job to find it and fix it!
+   You'll know when you fixed it because then, the exercise will compile and
+   Rustlings will be able to move on to the next exercise.
+2. If you run Rustlings in watch mode (which we recommend), it'll automatically
+   start with the first exercise. Don't get confused by an error message popping
+   up as soon as you run Rustlings! This is part of the exercise that you're
+   supposed to solve, so open the exercise file in an editor and start your
+   detective work!
+3. If you're stuck on an exercise, there is a helpful hint you can view by typing
+   'hint' (in watch mode), or running `rustlings hint exercise_name`.
+4. If an exercise doesn't make sense to you, feel free to open an issue on GitHub!
+   (https://github.com/rust-lang/rustlings/issues/new). We look at every issue,
+   and sometimes, other learners do too so you can help each other out!
+
+Got all that? Great! To get started, run `rustlings watch` in order to get the first exercise.
+Make sure to have your editor open in the `rustlings` directory!"""
