+# To use:
+#   $ conda env create -f environment.yml
+#   $ conda activate graphblas-algorithms-dev
+#
+# Or use mamba instead of conda.
+#
+# pre-commit should be set up once after the repo is cloned (see .pre-commit-config.yaml).
+# In the `graphblas-algorithms-dev` environment, run:
+#   $ pre-commit install
+#
+# At times, one may need to use a development version of networkx or python-graphblas.
+# To do this, you will need to uninstall, git clone, and run setup.py develop.  For example:
+#
+#   $ conda remove --force python-graphblas
+#   $ git clone git@github.com:python-graphblas/python-graphblas.git
+#   $ cd python-graphblas
+#   $ python setup.py develop --no-deps
+#
+#   $ conda remove --force networkx
+#   $ git clone git@github.com:networkx/networkx.git
+#   $ cd networkx
+#   $ python setup.py develop --no-deps
