Requirements to use the cookiecutter template:

---

• Python 2.7 or 3.5
• Cookiecutter Python package >= 1.4.0: This can be installed with pip by or conda depending on how you manage your Python packages:

$ pip install cookiecutter

or

$ conda config --add channels conda-forge
$ conda install cookiecutter

To start a new project, run:

---
