+### Getting Started
+LinkML does not support Python 3.7 or older. Use Python 3.10 or above to avoid compatibility issues.
+Create and activate a  environment:
+```
+conda create -n linkmlenv python=3.10 -y
+```
+```
+conda activate linkmlenv
+```
+
+## Install LinkML:
+Minimal install:
+```
+pip install linkml-cli
+```
+If that does not work, install the full suite:
+
+```
+pip install "linkml[cli]"
+```
+Or explicitly:
+```
+pip install linkml linkml-runtime linkml-dataops linkml-cli
+```
+Test that the CLI works:
+```
+linkml-validate --help
+```
+If the help menu prints, your installation is correct.
+
+## Common Commands
+Validate a metadata file against the schema:
+
+```
+linkml-validate -s ember_project_metadata.yaml <award identifier number>.yaml
+```
+
+## Generate a full JSON Schema using the generator:
+```
+python -m linkml.generators.jsonschemagen --top-class EmberProject ember_project_metadata.yaml > ember_project_metadata.schema.json
+```
+Check that the file was created:
+```
+ls -lh ember_project_metadata.schema.json
+```
