 # Installation
 
+WHOC is _not_ designed to be used as a stand-alone package. Most likely, 
+you'll want to add WHOC to an existing conda environment that contains your
+simulation testbed, such as [Hercules](https://github.com/NREL/hercules). 
+For example, see the [Hercules installation instuctions](\
+https://nrel.github.io/hercules/install_instructions.html) for how to set up
+an appropriate conda environment.
+
+## General users
+
+If you intend to use WHOC, but not contribute, the following lines should
+be sufficient to install WHOC (presumably, after activating your conda 
+environment):
+
 ```
 git clone https://github.com/NREL/wind-hybrid-open-controller
-pip install -e wind-hybrid-open-controller
+pip install wind-hybrid-open-controller/
 ```
+
+## Developers
+
+If you intend to contribute to WHOC, we request that your fork the WHOC 
+repository on github. You can then install WHOC (again, assuming you have 
+already activated your conda environment) according to:
+
+```
+git clone https://github.com/your-github-id/wind-hybrid-open-controller
+pip install -e wind-hybrid-open-controller/
+```
+To contribute back to the base repository 
+https://github.com/NREL/wind-hybrid-open-controller, please do the following:
+- Create a branch from the base repository's `develop` branch on your fork 
+containing your code changes (e.g. `your-github-id:feature/your-new-feature`)
+- Open a pull request into the base repository's `NREL:develop` branch, and provide 
+a description of the new/updated capabilities
+- The maintainers will review your pull request and provide feedback before 
+possibly merging the pull request (via the "squash and merge" method) into the
+`NREL:develop` branch
+- At the next release, `NREL:develop` will be merged into `NREL:main`, and your changes
+contributions will appear there
+
+For more information on what your pull request should contain, see 
+[Code development](code_development.md).
