+**This repository is used for preparing and recording deliveries.**
+
+The release notes for each build are tracked and stored with the AstroConda environment spec file used to recreate environments delivered to various pipeline teams.
+
+
+## Installing a fresh pipeline environment
+
+- Install Miniconda3
+```
+    $ wget https://repo.continuum.io/miniconda/Miniconda3-latest-Linux-x86_64.sh
+    $ bash Miniconda3-latest-Linux-x86_64.sh
+    $ export PATH=$HOME/miniconda3/bin:$PATH
+```
+
+- Installing via our servers:
+```
+$ conda create -n %NAME_%BUILD --file http://ssb.stsci.edu/releases/%NAME/%BUILD/%NAME%-BUILD-%PLATFORM-%PYTHON_VERSION.%ITERATION.txt
+```
+
+- Installing via local filesystem:
+```
+$ git clone https://github.com/astroconda/astroconda-releases
+$ conda create -n %NAME_%BUILD --file astroconda-releases/%NAME/%BUILD/%NAME-%BUILD-%PLATFORM-%PYTHON_VERSION.%ITERATION.txt
+```
+
+## Note
+
+A fresh installation of Miniconda3 is not required for each release. The method described above allows for multiple, entirely segregated pipeline installations.
