 ## Dataset
 
 The medical imaging dataset, CheXpert, used in this study is publicly available and can be downloaded from https://stanfordmlgroup.github.io/competitions/chexpert/.
+
+## Code
+
+For running the code, we recommend setting up a dedicated Python environment.
+
+### Setup Python environment using conda
+
+Create and activate a Python 3 conda environment:
+
+   ```shell
+   conda create -n pymira python=3
+   conda activate chexploration
+   ```
+   
+Install PyTorch using conda:
+   
+   ```shell
+   conda install pytorch torchvision cudatoolkit=10.1 -c pytorch
+   ```
+   
+### Setup Python environment using virtualenv
+
+Create and activate a Python 3 virtual environment:
+
+   ```shell
+   virtualenv -p python3 <path_to_envs>/chexploration
+   source <path_to_envs>/chexploration/bin/activate
+   ```
+   
+Install PyTorch using pip:
+   
+   ```shell
+   pip install torch torchvision
+   ```
+   
+### Install additional Python packages:
+   
+   ```shell
+   pip install matplotlib jupyter pandas seaborn pytorch-lightning scikit-learn scikit-image tensorboard tqdm openpyxl
+   ```
