+To manage the code environment necessary to run the OGE data pipeline, either `pipenv` or `conda` may be used. Currently, we utilize `pipenv` as our preferred environment manager for running the pipeline that is used for data releases, but `conda` will also work if you are more familiar with `conda`.
