 The tests make use of the [pytest-blender plugin](https://github.com/mondeja/pytest-blender#pytest-blender), which has `pytest` and other packages as dependencies (e.g. `pytest-cov`). These need to be installed in the site-packages directory of Blender's Python. The pytest-blender repo provides some guidance for this [here](https://github.com/mondeja/pytest-blender#usage). It is important to make sure you use Blender's Python interpreter and Blender's pip when installing `pytest` and its dependencies. Below are some tips on how to do this in Linux and MacOS.
 
-**Linux**
+**Installing Pytest in Python**
 
-An easy way to install these dependencies correctly in Linux is to run the following code in [Blender's Python scripting window](https://docs.blender.org/api/current/info_quickstart.html#running-scripts):
+The following steps were needed to install these dependencies (tested in MacOS only):
+```
+# create and activate conda environment:
+conda create -n blender-dev python=3.10 -y
+conda activate blender-dev
+
+# install pytest-blender:
+pip install pytest-blender
+pip install pytest-cov
+
+# Get path to the Python interpreter that ships with Blender - this may take a long time:
+blender_python="$(pytest-blender)"
+
+# from the `Blender_Randomiser` directory, install the randomiser package with dev dependencies by running:
+$blender_python -m pip install ".[dev]"
+
+#Run pytest:
+python -m pytest tests
+
+## ~/.local/bin may need to be added to path
+```

+
+An easy way to install these dependencies (tested in Linux only) is to run the following code in [Blender's Python scripting window](https://docs.blender.org/api/current/info_quickstart.html#running-scripts):

 import pip

+# Adding materials and geometry panels
+
+Materials and geometry panels are added to the UI if the node to be randomised is renamed with a prefix of "random". The node is then added to the panel and the user can select the min and max values for the randomisation. The user can also select the nodes to be randomised and the output file will contain the parameters that have been randomised.
