[biglimp]

-suggestion to include instructions on how to configure your computer to work with the code. See https://umep-docs.readthedocs.io/en/latest/DevelopmentGuidelines.html#setting-up-an-umep-python-ide-on-windows as inspiration...

this seems to be rather broad topic.
@biglimp do you have a more specific use case?

[biglimp]

Dont have to be broad.
How to get code from github, how to isntall VScode on linux, what configurations to make to complie and run the code.

This is to help people getting over the first issues on getting started with coding. Also for me cos I keep forgetting how to configure everything... ;-)

I see; I'll start with a skeleton and will need your help to fill in some Windows-related parts 😉

[biglimp]

Great. Maybe we should only include Linux/Mac as we had issues trying to set it up on my Windows machine...

I'll expand this post while moving along and take to the docs site when things look more in shape.
