 The CCPP Suite Simulator (CSS) emulates the evolution of the internal physics state provided by the SDF. There are different deployments of the scheme simulator, depending on the role(s) and order of the physical processes in the SDF we are emulating (e.g. time vs. process-split), that need further attention. For instance, SDFs consisting of only process-split physics schemes can be handled simply by adding the simulator to the end of the SDF, since for process-split schemes the order is not critical to the evolution of the internal physics state. On the other hand, for SDFs that contain time-split processes, where the simulator is added is important to preserve the order of the internal state evolution.
 
+\subsection{Python Dependencies}
+\label{subsection: pydepend}
+The scripts here require a few python packages that may not be found by default in all python installations. There is a YAML file with the python environment needed to run the script in \execout{ccpp-scm/scm\_suite\_sim.yml}. To create and activate this environment using conda:
+
+Create environment (only once):
+
+\execout{> conda env create -f environment-suite-sim.yml}
+
+This will create the conda environment \execout{scm\_suite\_sim}
+
+
+Activate environment:
+
+\execout{> conda activate scm\_suite\_sim}
