 You are now ready to try a simple forecast as outlined in the next section.
 
+#### Set the Augur directory
+To make sure that Augur can find the configuration files, you need to set the `AUGUR_DIR` environment variable. You can do this by running the following command:
+
+```bash
+conda env config vars set AUGUR_DIR=${PWD}/augur
+```
+
+
+#### Using developer version of Firecrown
+To install and modify the developer version of `firecrown`, follow the instructions [here](https://firecrown.readthedocs.io/en/latest/developer_installation.html).
 
 -----------
 ## Installation using Conda
 
 Because Augur depends upon Firecrown, and Firecrown requires installation using Conda, we use Conda to install Augur.
+```bash
+# clone the Augur repository
+git clone [email protected]:LSSTDESC/augur.git
+
+# conda env update, when run as suggested, is able to create a new environment, as
+# well as updating an existing environment.
+conda env update -f augur/environment.yml
+conda activate forecasting
 
-    # clone the Augur repository
-    git clone [email protected]:LSSTDESC/augur.git
-
-    # conda env update, when run as suggested, is able to create a new environment, as
-    # well as updating an existing environment.
-    conda env update -f augur/environment.yml
-    conda activate forecasting
-
-    # The following line loads the firecrown module from the environment, and queries
-    # it to find the installation location.
-    FIRECROWN_DIR=$(python -c "import firecrown; print('/'.join(firecrown.__spec__.submodule_search_locations[0].split('/')[0:-1]))")
-
-    # We define some environment variables that will be defined whenever you activate
-    # the conda environment.
-    conda env config vars set AUGUR_DIR=${PWD}/augur CSL_DIR=${CONDA_PREFIX}/cosmosis-standard-library FIRECROWN_DIR=${FIRECROWN_DIR}
-    # The command above does not immediately define the environment variables.
-    # They are made available on every fresh activation of the environment.
-    # So we have to deactivate and then reactivate...
-    conda deactivate
-    conda activate forecasting
-    # Now we can finish building the CosmoSIS Standard Library.
-    source ${CONDA_PREFIX}/bin/cosmosis-configure
-    # We want to put the CSL into the same directory as conda environment upon which it depends
-    cd ${CONDA_PREFIX}
-    cosmosis-build-standard-library
-    # Now change directory into the Augur repository
-    cd ${AUGUR_DIR}
-    # And finally make an editable (developer) installation of firecrown into the conda environment
-    python -m pip install --no-deps --editable ${PWD}
+# The following line loads the firecrown module from the environment, and queries
+# it to find the installation location.
+FIRECROWN_DIR=$(python -c "import firecrown; print('/'.join(firecrown.__spec__.submodule_search_locations[0].split('/')[0:-1]))")

+cd ${CONDA_PREFIX}
+cosmosis-build-standard-library
+# Now change directory into the Augur repository
+cd ${AUGUR_DIR}
+# And finally make an editable (developer) installation of firecrown into the conda environment
