 My experiences as a chemist for installing and using deepchem
 
 
-As a medicinal chemist interested in deep learning and trying to understand new tools to increase productivity I was very interested when I saw the [blogpost by Derik Lowe](https://blogs.sciencemag.org/pipeline/archives/2019/05/14/an-intro-to-deep-learning) on his in the pipeline blog  about [Deepchem](https://deepchem.io/). Since I am not a programmer I was a bit overwhelmed when I tried to use the tool and was originally unable to get any of the tutorials to work. After a little bit of experience I have been at least able to get the tutorials to work.

 Here I plan on documenting first the installation of Deepchem and the required dependencies then as I get more familiar with the software I plan on documenting a how to use deepchem for dummies.
 
 ## Installation
 
   * Install a working version of Linux
-    * I used [Linux Mint](https://linuxmint.com/) installed on Hyper-V on a Windows 10 computer at work. It would work even better on a native Linux box
+    * I used [Linux Mint](https://linuxmint.com/) installed on Hyper-V on a Windows 10 computer at work. It would work even better on a native Linux box. Since Mint is a fork of Ubuntu/Debain I will use those commands
+  * Install [Miniconda](https://docs.conda.io/en/latest/miniconda.html) - I used miniconda so I could control which packages/dependencies I install
+    * download the installer, then navigate to the ~/Downloads folder in the terminal
+    * bash Miniconda3-latest-Linux-x86_64.sh
+  * Install git and download the deepchem repository - I built from the repository for 2 reasons. 1) it worked 2) so I would have the notebooks
+    * from your home directory in terminal
+    * $ sudo apt install git
+    * $ git clone https://github.com/deepchem/deepchem.git
+  * Install [Deepchem](https://github.com/deepchem/deepchem) in a conda environment called deepchem
+    * $ cd deepchem
+    * $ bash scripts/install_deepchem_conda.sh deepchem
+    * $ conda activate deepchem
+    * $ python setup.py install
+  * Install the required dependencies and Jupyter notebook - I used conda then updated/upgrades with pip. Make sure you are within your deepchem environment
+    * $ conda install numpy, pandas, joblib, scikit-learn, tensorflow, matplotlib
+    * $ conda install -c conda-forge rdkit
+    * $ pip install --upgrade tensorflow
+    * $ conda install jupyter
+  * You should now have all of the required libraries to use deepchem - open the jupyter notebook and navigate to the deepchem notebooks
+    * $ jupyter notebook
+
