+# Scripts
+
+This folder contains helpful scripts for development.
+
+## Development Setup Scripts
+
+Both of these scripts will create a Python environment based on the default version of `python` in your PATH. Ensure the version is at least 3.9 by running:
+
+```bash
+python --version
+```
+
+The virtual environment, by default, will created as a directory named `venv` that will be placed at the root of this project.
+
+### Windows
+
+Powershell needs to be set to allow running of scripts. Do this by opening PowerShell in admin mode and running:
+
+```bash
+Set-ExecutionPolicy -ExecutionPolicy RemoteSigned -Scope CurrentUser
+```
+
+Then, from the root directory, run:
+
+```bash
+. ./scripts/dev_setup.ps1
+```
+
+From the root of the project, you can activate the environment:
+
+```bash
+. ./venv/Scripts/activate
+```
+
+To deactivate:
+
+```bash
+deactivate
+```
+
+### Linux and macOS
+
+From the root directory, run:
+
+```bash
+. ./scripts/dev_setup.sh
+```
+
+From the root of the project, you can activate the environment:
+
+```bash
+. ./venv/bin/activate
+```
+
+To deactivate:
+
+```bash
+deactivate
+```
+
+## Troubleshooting
+
+If you encounter any issues, please create an issue on GitHub.
