+#### How do I create a Python 3.6 environment for _cellxgene_?
+
+If you use conda and want to create a [conda environment](https://conda.io/docs/user-guide/tasks/manage-environments.html) for _cellxgene_ you can use the following commands
+
+```
+conda create --yes -n cellxgene python=3.6
+conda activate cellxgene
+pip install cellxgene
+```
+
+Or you can create a virtual environment by using
+
+```
+ENV_NAME=cellxgene
+python3.6 -m venv ${ENV_NAME}
+source ${ENV_NAME}/bin/activate
+pip install cellxgene
+```
