+**This repository is used for preparing and recording deliveries.**
+
+The release notes for each build are tracked and stored with the astroconda spec build which recreates the environment that was delivered
+
+
+Installing a fresh pipeline environment
+=======================================
+
+- Install Miniconda3
+```
+ # Miniconda (if preferred)
+
+ $ wget https://repo.continuum.io/miniconda/Miniconda2-4.1.11-Linux-x86_64.sh
+ $ bash Miniconda3-4.0.5-Linux-x86_64.sh
+ $ export PATH=$HOME/miniconda3/bin:$PATH
+```
+
+Notes
+-----
+A fresh installation of Miniconda3 is not required for each release. The method described here allows multiple, entirely segregated pipeline installations:
+
+For existing Miniconda3 installations:
+```
+$ conda create -n %NAME_%YEAR_%BUILD --file http://ssb.stsci.edu/conda/%NAME-%YEAR.$BUILD/%NAME-%YEAR.%BUILD-%PLATFORM-%PYTHON_VERSION.%ITERATION.txt
+```
+
+As bug fixes are announced, your pipeline software may be updated by issuing the command:
+```
+ $ conda update --file http://ssb.stsci.edu/conda/%NAME-%YEAR.$BUILD/%NAME-%YEAR.%BUILD-%PLATFORM-%PYTHON_VERSION.%ITERATION.txt
+```
