+1. **[Programming exercises](https://docs.artemis.cit.tum.de/user/exercises/programming/)** with version control, automatic individual feedback (and assessment) based on test cases and static code analysis (executed using continuous integration) for `any programming language`. 
    * **Instant**: Students receive immediate and individual feedback on submissions. Instructors can customize feedback messages easily, hide feedback during the working time (e.g., with hidden tests)
    * **Interactive:** Instructors integrate interactive instructions based on tasks and UML diagrams directly into the dynamic problem statements. They can define hints for difficult exercise parts.
    * **Independent**: Instructors can customize programming exercises to support any programming language. To simplify the setup, Artemis includes sophisticated templates for the most common languages (e.g., Java, Python, C, Haskell, Kotlin, VHDL, Assembler, Swift, Ocaml, ...)

 7. **[Grading](https://docs.artemis.cit.tum.de/user/grading/)**: Instructors can configure grade keys for courses and exams to automatically calculate grades and display them to students. Grades can be easily exported as csv files to upload them into university systems (such as Campus online). Instructors can optionally define bonus configurations for final exams to improve student grades according to their grades from a midterm exam or course exercises.
 8. **[Assessment](https://docs.artemis.cit.tum.de/user/exercises/assessment/)**: Artemis uses double-blind grading and structured grading criteria to improve consistency and fairness. It integrates an assessment training process (based on example submissions and example assessments defined by the instructor), has a grading leader board, and allows students to rate the assessments. Students can complain or ask for more feedback.

 ### Server setup
 
-You can set up Artemis in conjunction with either [`GitLab and Jenkins`](https://docs.artemis.cit.tum.de/dev/setup/#jenkins-and-gitlab-setup), [`GitLab and GitLab CI (experimental)`](https://docs.artemis.cit.tum.de/dev/setup/#gitlab-ci-and-gitlab-setup), [`Jira, Bitbucket and Bamboo`](https://docs.artemis.cit.tum.de/dev/setup/#bamboo-bitbucket-and-jira-setup), or with [`local CI and local VC`](https://docs.artemis.cit.tum.de/dev/setup/#local-ci-and-local-vc-setup).
+Setting up Artemis in your development environment or a demo production environment is really easy following the instructions on https://docs.artemis.cit.tum.de/dev/setup. When you want to support programming exercises, we recommend to use the modules for [Local CI and Local VC](https://docs.artemis.cit.tum.de/dev/setup/#local-ci-and-local-vc-setup).
+
+Artemis can also be set up in conjunction with external tools for version control and continuous integration:
+1. [GitLab and Jenkins](https://docs.artemis.cit.tum.de/dev/setup/#jenkins-and-gitlab-setup)
+2. [Jira, Bitbucket and Bamboo](https://docs.artemis.cit.tum.de/dev/setup/#bamboo-bitbucket-and-jira-setup)
+3. [GitLab and GitLab CI (experimental)](https://docs.artemis.cit.tum.de/dev/setup/#gitlab-ci-and-gitlab-setup)
+
 Artemis uses these external tools for user management and the configuration of programming exercises.
 
 ### Administration setup
 
 If needed, you can configure self service [user registration](https://docs.artemis.cit.tum.de/admin/registration).
