Preliminaries for Using Marlowe

The demeter.run web3 development platform provides an extension, Cardano Marlowe Runtime, that has Marlowe tools installed. This extension provides the Marlowe Runtime backend services and a Cardano node, so you don't need to set environment variables, install tools or run backend services.
