+
+## Installing
+As of now we do not have a better way to install the code other than cloning from GitHub.
+Create a new conda environment with:
+
+  `conda create -n "NameYourEnvironment" python=3.X`
+
+MolSym is tested with Python 3.8, 3.9, and 3.10 but should work for more recent versions as well.
+
+  `git clone [email protected]:NASymmetry/MolSym.git`
+
+Install the necessary dependencies using `pip`.
+
+  `pip install -r <Path to MolSym directory>/requirements.tx`
+
+Alternatively, most Python environments come equipped with all but one dependency, so if `pip` is not desired, installing `QCElemental` is all that should be required.
+
+  `conda install -c conda-forge qcelemental`
+
+Finally append the MolSym directory to your `PYTHONPATH`.
+
+ `export PYTHONPATH=$PYTHONPATH:<Path to MolSym directory>`
