+# Introduction
+PyMPDATA examples are bundled with PyMPDATA and located in the examples subfolder.
+They constitute a separate PyMPDATA_examples Python package which is also available at PyPI.
+The examples have additional dependencies listed in PyMPDATA_examples package setup.py file.
+Running the examples requires the PyMPDATA_examples package to be installed.
+
+Below is an example of how to use the PyMPDATA_examples package to run a simple advection-diffusion in 2D
+`PyMPDATA_examples.advection_diffusion_2d`
+![adv_diff](https://github.com/open-atmos/PyMPDATA/releases/download/tip/advection_diffusion.gif)
+
+# Installation
+Since the examples package includes Jupyter notebooks (and their execution requires write access), the suggested install and launch steps are:
+
+```
+git clone https://github.com/open-atmos/PyMPDATA-examples.git
+cd PyMPDATA-examples
+pip install -e .
+jupyter-notebook
+```
+
+Alternatively, one can also install the examples package from pypi.org by using
+```
+pip install PyMPDATA-examples.
+```
