+# opentrons-api
+Python API for writing protocols and running them on Opentrons robots
+
+## Endy Lab Development Environment
+We are using conda virtual envs to make sure we all have the same development environment.
+
+Using python 3.5 for opencv compatibility
+
+```
+conda create -n opentrons python=3.5 numpy pandas matplotlib jupyter
+```
+
+Use local copy of opentrons code in the virtual env.
+
+```
+source activate opentrons
+cd opentrons-api/api
