+How to build package
+--------------------
+To build and run tests on the package for python 2/3 use the following command
+
+    `conda build . --python 3.5 --python 2.7`
+
+To build the package the `meta.yaml` is building from the current source
+directory
+
+If the build fails because `tempdir` is missing add the MDAnalysis channel
+to your `.condarc`.
+
+Prepare for a release
+---------------------
+
+Update the version string in `meta.yaml`
+
+Pushing to official MDAnalysis channel
+--------------------------------------
+
+To upload to your own channel `anaconda upload <where conda build the package>`.
+To upload to the MDAnalysis channel add the flag `-u MDAnalysis`
