+# Development environment setup
+
+1. Fork [nsidc/earthaccess](https://github.com/nsidc/earthaccess)
+1. Clone your fork (`git clone [email protected]:{my-username}/earthaccess`)
+
+`earthaccess` uses Poetry to build and publish the package to PyPI, the defacto Python repository. In order to develop new features or fix bugs etc. we need to set up a virtual environment and install the library locally. We can accomplish this with Conda and Poetry, or just with Poetry.  Both workflows achieve the same result.
+
+### Using Conda
+
+If we have `mamba` (or `conda`) installed, we can use the environment file included in the `ci` folder. This will install all the libraries we need (including Poetry) to start developing `earthaccess`:
+
+```bash
+mamba env update -f ci/environment-dev.yml
+mamba activate earthaccess-dev
+poetry install
+```
+
+After activating our environment and installing the library with Poetry we can run Jupyter lab and start testing the local distribution or we can use `make` to run the tests and lint the code.
+Now we can create a feature branch and push those changes to our fork!
+
+### Using Poetry
+
+If we want to use Poetry, first we need to [install it](https://python-poetry.org/docs/#installation). After installing Poetry we can use the same workflow we used for Conda, first we install the library locally:
+
+```bash
+poetry install
+```
+
+and now we can run the local Jupyter Lab and run the scripts etc. using Poetry:
+
+```bash
+poetry run jupyter lab
+```
+
+!!! note
+
+    You may need to use `poetry run make ...` to run commands in the environment.
+
+### Managing Dependencies
+
+If you need to add a new dependency, you should do the following:
+
+- Run `poetry add <package>` for a required (non-development) dependency
+- Run `poetry add --group=dev <package>` for a development dependency, such
+  as a testing or code analysis dependency
+
+Both commands add an entry to `pyproject.toml` with a version that is
+compatible with the rest of the dependencies.  However, `poetry` pins versions
+with a caret (`^`), which is not what we want.  Therefore, you must locate the
+new entry in `pyproject.toml` and change the `^` to `>=`.  (See
+[poetry-relax](https://github.com/zanieb/poetry-relax) for the reasoning behind
+this.)
+
+In addition, you must also add a corresponding entry to
+`ci/environment-mindeps.yaml`.  You'll notice in this file that required
+dependencies should be pinned exactly to the versions specified in
+`pyproject.toml` (after changing `^` to `>=` there), and that development
+dependencies should be left unpinned.
+
+Finally, for _development dependencies only_, you must add an entry to
+`ci/environment-dev.yaml` with the same version constraint as in
+`pyproject.toml`.
