+a [REST](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Representational_state_transfer) API for basically all of Rhino.
+The server itself is a .NET application, and it comes with a Python library that lets us interact with the server.
+This is what we will be exploring here.

+Rhino 7 installers can be downloaded from [here](https://www.rhino3d.com/download/). Note that it's
 not free software, so you have to have a license to use it. In the School of Architecture
 and Planning here at MIT, we're lucky to have a department-wide license. Otherwise, McNeel

+
+### Rhino Compute Server
+
+To compile the server, you'll need to install [Visual Studio](https://visualstudio.microsoft.com/).
+Instructions for this are [here](https://developer.rhino3d.com/guides/compute/development/).
+
+You also need to install the Python library, which you can do using pip.
+
+```
+python -m pip install compute_rhino3d
+```
+
+### Rhino3dm
+
+This one is just another pip call.
+
+```
+python -m pip install rhino3dm
+```
 
+### CMA-ES

+To run the optimization demo, you'll need a few extra Python libraries installed.
 
 ```
 python -m pip install cma numpy matplotlib
