+First, the runner has to be set up as a custom runner and registered (using `gitlab-runner register`) with the corresponding GitLab instance following the standard procedure. When prompted for "Enter an executor:", type "custom".
 
 The config (example in `runner_config`) needs to be adjusted to point with their `config_exec` and `run_exec` entries to the respective scripts in the runner_scripts folder.
