+# Environment files
+
+This folder contains environment files that are used to install dependencies for GCPy and the ReadTheDocs documentation.
+
+NOTE: Most users will install GCPy with:
+
+```console
+$ pip install geoschem-gcpy
+```
+but GCPy developers may need to install the dependencies separately using the environment files in this folder.
+
+## Installing GCPy dependencies
+
+### With Mamba or Conda
+
+Use one of these commands to build a Mamba/Conda environment with all of the GCPy dependencies.
+
+```console
+$ mamba env create -n gcpy_env --file=gcpy_environment.yml
+```
+or
+```console
+$ conda env create -n gcpy_env --file=gcpy_environment.yml
+```
+
+### With pip
+Or use this command to install the dependencies from PyPI:
+```console
+$ pip install -r gcpy_requirements.txt
+```
+
+## Installing ReadTheDocs dependencies

+### With Mamba or Conda
+
+Use one of these commands to build a Mamba/Conda environment with the dependencies for building the GCPy ReadTheDocs documentation:
