+Settings up a development environment in Siphon is as easy as (from the
+base of the repository):
+
+.. parsed-literal::
+    conda env create
+    conda develop -n devel .
+
+The ``environment.yml`` contains all of the configuration needed to easily
+set up the environment, called ``devel``. The second line sets up conda to
+run directly out of the git repository.
