 In order to run the Jupyter Notebook on your local machine, follow these steps:
 
-Make a new directory on your local file system where the 3DEP Jupyter Notebooks (and all 3DEP data, if desired) will be saved. In this case, the directory will be called `3DEP`. Change into the new directory and git clone the Github repository containing the Jupyter Notebooks and other relevant files to your local file system.

 Anaconda is recommended for Python package installation and management. Package versions in Anaconda are managed by the package management system *conda*. Anaconda installers for MacOS/Linux/Windows can be downloaded from https://docs.anaconda.com/anaconda/install/. Follow the instructions to install the appropriate version of Anaconda for your operating system.
 
-After installing Anaconda, create a conda virtual environment with the required dependencies (contained in `environment.yml`). Note: Exectuting the following command will automatically create the conda environment with name `3dep` and all of the required dependencies installed. If you would prefer a different name, replace `3dep` with another name in the following command:
