+# Using mamba to make the Geo-Python environment
+
+This briefly describes how to install a Python virtual environment for the Geo-Python course.
+
+1. Install miniconda from https://docs.conda.io/en/latest/miniconda.html
+2. Install mamba
+    ```bash
+    conda install mamba -n base -c conda-forge
+    ```
+3. Clone the course Python environments from GitHub
+    ```bash
+    git clone https://github.com/geo-python/python-environments.git
+    ```
+4. Change into the working directory with the cloned environment files
+    ```bash
+    cd python-environments
+    ```
+## Creating the environment for students
+1. Create the python environment using mamba
+    ```bash
+    mamba create -n geo-python-student
+    mamba env update -n geo-python-student --file geo-python-student.yml
+    ```
+2. Activate the new environment and update JupyterLab
+    ```bash
+    conda activate geo-python-student
+    sh postBuild
+    ```
+## Creating the environment for teachers
+1. Create the python environment using mamba
+    ```bash
+    mamba create -n geo-python-teacher
+    mamba env update -n geo-python-teacher --file geo-python-teacher.yml
+    ```
+2. Activate the new environment and update JupyterLab
+    ```bash
+    conda activate geo-python-teacher
+    sh postBuild
+    ```
