-# Unified Model Post-processing: um2nc-standalone
+# Unified Model to NetCDF Post-processing: um2nc
 
 ## About
 
-`um2nc-standalone` is an [ACCESS-NRI](https://www.access-nri.org.au/) project to merge multiple versions of unified model conversion tools to a single, canonical project for the ESM1.5 model. 
+`um2nc` is a `Python3` utility to convert [Unified Model data files](https://code.metoffice.gov.uk/doc/um/latest/papers/umdp_F03.pdf) to NetCDF format.
+
+The `um2nc-standalone` project is an [ACCESS-NRI](https://www.access-nri.org.au/) initiative to merge multiple versions of Unified Model NetCDF conversion tool to a single, canonical project. 
 
 ## Installation
 
-TODO
+### Gadi
 
-* `virtualenv` instructions
-* `conda`/`miniconda`/`micromamba?` instructions
+On Gadi, `um2nc` is available within the `vk83` `payu` environment. 
+To access it, run: 
+```
+module use /g/data/vk83/modules
+module load payu
+```
+> [!IMPORTANT]  
+> You need to be a member of the vk83 project on NCI to access the module. For more information check how to [Join relevant NCI projects](https://access-hive.org.au/getting_started/set_up_nci_account/#join-relevant-nci-projects)
 
-## User documentation
+### Local installation
+`um2nc` is available as a `conda` package in the [access-nri conda channel](https://anaconda.org/accessnri/um2nc).
+To install it run:
+```
+conda install accessnri::um2nc
+```
 
-TODO
+### Installing Dependencies
+IS THIS REQUIRED?? 
+udunits is also available in conda-forge...
 
-### Running the tests
+#### MacOS
+
+```Bash
+brew install udunits
+```
+
+if this fails with some compiler/header errors, try:
+
+```Bash
+# set up non standard cf-unit paths
+export UDUNITS2_XML_PATH=/opt/homebrew/Cellar/udunits/2.2.28/share/udunits/udunits2.xml
+export UDUNITS2_LIBDIR=/opt/homebrew/lib
+export UDUNITS2_INCDIR=/opt/homebrew/Cellar/udunits/2.2.28/include
+brew install udunits
+```
 
-This project uses `pytest`. To run the tests:
+#### Linux
 
 ```Bash
-$ cd <your um2nc-standalone dir>
-$ pytest
+apt-get install udunits
 ```
 
-A minimal code coverage setup has been included, to run & generate an HTML coverage report:
+## Development/Testing instructions
+For development/testing, it is recommended to install `um2nc` as a development package within a `micromamba`/`conda` testing environment.
 
+### Clone um2nc-standalone GitHub repo
 ```
-$ cd <your um2nc-standalone dir>
-$ pytest --cov-report=html --cov=umpost
+git clone [email protected]:ACCESS-NRI/um2nc-standalone.git
 ```
 
-Then load the `index.html` from the project root/coverage_html dir.
+### Create a micromamba/conda testing environment
+> [!TIP]  
+> In the following instructions `micromamba` can be replaced with `conda`.
+
+```
+cd um2nc-standalone
+micromamba env create -n um2nc_dev --file .conda/env_dev.yml
+micromamba activate um2nc_dev
+```
+
+### Install um2nc as a development package
+```
+pip install --no-deps --no-build-isolation -e .
+```
+
+### Running the tests
+
+The `um2nc-standalone` project uses `pytest` and `pytest-cov`.<br>
+To run the tests and generate print a coverage report (with missing lines) run:
+
+```
+$ python3 -m pytest --cov-report=term-missing --cov=umpost
+```
+> [!TIP]
+> To generate an HTML coverage report substitute `term-missing` with `html`.
+
+## User documentation
+
+TODO: this needs to cover:
+
+1. Running `um2netcdf` standalone
+2. Using the workflow run script
+3. Using `um2netcdf` as an API
