+# Installing
+
+A fresh installation of Anaconda3 or Miniconda3 is not required for each HSTDP release. The method described here allows for multiple, entirely segregated, pipeline installations.
+
+For existing Anaconda3 or Miniconda3 installations:
+
+```
+$ conda create -n hstdp-2019.3 --file http://ssb.stsci.edu/releases/hstdp/2019.3/latest-linux
+```
+
+As bugfixes are announced your current pipeline software may be updated by issuing the command:
+
+```
+$ conda update -n hstdp-2019.3 --file http://ssb.stsci.edu/releases/hstdp/2019.3/latest-linux
+```
+
+# Installing From Scratch
+
+For detailed instructions of this step, please visit: http://docs.continuum.io/anaconda/install#linux-install
+
+**For Anaconda:**
+
+```
+$ wget https://repo.continuum.io/archive/Anaconda3-2018.12-Linux-x86_64.sh
+$ bash Anaconda3-2018.12-Linux-x86_64.sh
+$ export PATH=$HOME/anaconda3/bin:$PATH
+```
+
+**For Miniconda (if preferred):**
+
+```
+$ wget https://repo.continuum.io/miniconda/Miniconda3-4.5.12-Linux-x86_64.sh
+$ bash Miniconda3-4.5.12-Linux-x86_64.sh
+$ export PATH=$HOME/miniconda3/bin:$PATH
+```
+
+## Install the pipeline
+
+```
+$ conda create -n hstdp-2019.3 --file http://ssb.stsci.edu/releases/hstdp/2019.3/latest-linux
+```
+
+## Enter a BASH shell
+
+```
+$ bash
+```
+
+## Activate the pipeline environment
+
+```
+$ source activate hstdp-2019.3
+```
