+This file describes the steps necessary to execute the "reproduce".sh file to produce
+the main results of this repository.
+
+1. Make sure you have conda, or preferably mamba installed. See either of the links below
+for instructions on installing the program of your choice for your machine.
+- conda: https://conda.io/projects/conda/en/latest/user-guide/install/index.html
+- mamba: https://mamba.readthedocs.io/en/latest/installation.html
+
+2. Once installed, open the terminal so that your present working directory (pwd)
+is the one associated with the location of the local version of this repository on 
+your machine.
+
+3. Navigate to the "binder" folder and make sure a file called "environment.yml"
+lives there. Run the following command:
+- mamba env create -f environment.yal
+
+Once this command has completed, you are ready to run the reproduce.sh script!
