+## List(str): a list of commands to use when installing the latest
+## release of the code. Note: only one installation method can currently
+## be defined. We suggest using mamba where possible (e.g.
+##   mamba -c conda-forge install pytim
+## for a conda package installation).
+## Here we use a simple PyPi installation:
+install:
+  - pip install pytim
+
+## List(str): a list of commands to use when installing the mdakit from its
+## source code.

+
+## List(str): a list of commands to use when attempting to run the MDAKit's tests
+## If you package your tests inside your package then you can typically use the 
+##     pytest --pyargs MYPACKAGE
+## command as shown below. 
+## Otherwise you need to include commands to make the tests available. 
+## For example, if the tests are in the repository at the top level under `./tests`:
+## First use `git clone latest` to either clone the top commit for "development code" checks or check out
+## the latest tag for "latest release" checks. Then then run pytest:
+##    - git clone latest
+##    - pytest -v ./tests
+## Feel free to ask for advice on your pull request!
+run_tests:
+  - pytest pytim/*py pytim/observables/*py pytim/datafiles/*py --doctest-modules
+
+## List(str): a list of commands to use to install the necessary dependencies required
+## to run the MDAKit's tests.
+## The default below _might_ be sufficient or you might not even need MDAnalysisTests:
+## make sure that it is appropriate for how you run tests.

+  - pip install mdtraj "pytest==8.1.1" "codecov==2.1.13" "pytest-cov==5.0.0"
