You are going to need ruby and pyYAML.  I used conda on a mac but they have instructions for Windows, Mac and UNIX.

+## Here I describe how I built this lesson.  You can follow along. 
+

+> Check out the [previous episode]({{ site.baseurl }}/00-Local-Setup-For-Local-Build.html)to set up a local server and to do local builds. 
+{: .callout}
+
+## First you need to decide on a name for your new lesson. 
+
+> #### Note: 
+> Because github insists on using gh_pages for deployment, it is good to use your own github account for initial (and ongoing) development and pull over to /DUNE/ for the official version rather than using branches in the /DUNE/ github area.
+{: .callout}
+
+## Do local setup for local rendering (optional)
+
+Then follow the instructions [https://carpentries.github.io/lesson-example/setup.html#setup-for-local-rendering-of-the-lessons-optional](https://carpentries.github.io/lesson-example/setup.html#setup-for-local-rendering-of-the-lessons-optional) for setup on your local machine - in principle this is optional but in practice it is really helpful.

+## Then import this template. 
+
+- Use the [GitHub’s importer](https://github.com/new/import) to make a copy of this repo in your own GitHub account. (Note: This is like a GitHub Fork, but not connected to the upstream changes)
+
+- Put the URL of this repository, that is https://github.com/DUNE/lesson-template.git in the “Your old repository’s clone URL” box. 
+
+- Select the owner for your new repository (you). 
+
+- Set the name you chose for your lesson repository. 
+
+- Make sure the repository is public.
+
+> #### Note: 
+> Please import to your own account and new lesson, work there and then move it over to `/DUNE/` once you have a decent draft in place. 
+{: .callout}
+
+
+The difference from the carpentries is the addition of the DUNE logo and stuff specific to our lessons.  
+
+
+## now make a local copy on the gh-pages branch and edit away
+~~~
+git clone -b gh-pages <your new repository>
+~~~
+{: .language-bash}
+
+You need to look at the following pages.
+
+- `_config.yml ` to set the title and other parameters for the lesson
+- `AUTHORS` to tell people who is doing this
+- `CITATION` how to cite the page - often just the URL
+- `LICENSE`  you can keep it as is
+- `LICENSE.md` 
+- `README.md`
+- `reference.md`
+- `setup.md` This is currently the full setup for new users. 
+
+Then throw your individual modules into `_episodes` with leading numbers to set the order.  The code will follow the ordering of the files in `_episodes`.  
+
+There are very nice examples and a formatting tutorial at: [https://carpentries.github.io/lesson-example/](https://carpentries.github.io/lesson-example/)
+
+You can throw supplemental stuff into `_extras`.
+
+## You can then build your site locally either as a server or just a local site.
+
+### local site
+
+~~~
+make site
+~~~
+{: .language-bash}
+
+This does a lot of setup - it's pulling in a lot of ruby "gem" files. 
+
+Your local site will be in _sites/index.html
+
+#### Checking
+
+~~~ 
+make lesson-check
+~~~
+{: .language-bash}
+
+will tell you about all the FIXME's you haven't fixed and missing formatting syntax.
+
+### local server
+
+~~~ 
+make serve
+~~~
+{: .language-bash}
+
+will launch a web server and a site at: `http://127.0.0.1:4000`  
+
+You need to reload the web site to see your changes. 
+
+> ### Note: 
+These will hang around until you kill them so if you try to launch twice so look for processes with:
+{: .callout}
+
+
+~~~
+ps -ef | grep jekyll
+~~~
+{: .language-bash}
