+### Initial Setup
+
+In the `scmodding` folder created above:
+
+```bash
+# this will cause pyenv to automatically set the default python to 3.9.2 whenever you're within scmodding
+pyenv local 3.9.2   
+
+cd tools/scdv
+poetry install
+poetry run python -m pip install -e ../../frameworks/scdatatools
