+## Installation & Contribution
+
+To play with the code developed for the analyses,
+you can clone the project with [git](https://git-scm.com/)
+and install the contained `urban-meal-delivery` package
+and all its dependencies
+in a [virtual environment](https://docs.python.org/3/tutorial/venv.html)
+with [poetry](https://python-poetry.org/docs/):
+
+`git clone https://github.com/webartifex/urban-meal-delivery.git`
+
+and
+
+`poetry install --extras research`
+
+The `--extras` option is necessary as the non-develop dependencies
+are structured in the [pyproject.toml](https://github.com/webartifex/urban-meal-delivery/blob/develop/pyproject.toml) file
+into dependencies related to only the `urban-meal-delivery` source code package
+and dependencies used to run the [Jupyter](https://jupyter.org/) environment
+with the analyses.
+
+Contributions are welcome.
