+renv::restore() helps to install package dependencies for `HELPS`, but users might need to download a few R packages individually through RStudio's guidance.
+You should now be set to run the driver without running into any package version issues. Note that if you have completed steps related to renv once, your R session should automatically connect to a private library when you open `HELPS.Rproj`, and you can run the code below to use the package.

-`HELPS`, by default, works with 0.5-degree daily and monthly bias corrected climate projections. 
+The `HELPS` package operates on 0.5 degree resolution, bias-corrected outputs from Earth System Models and General Circulation Models participating in the CMIP process. Several options to access such data exist:
+- The ISIMIP2b repository (https://data.isimip.org/search/tree/ISIMIP2b/InputData/climate/atmosphere/) contains outputs from CMIP5-era models (GFDL-ESM2M, HadGEM2-ES, IPSL-CM5A-LR, and MIROC5) for specific scenarios
+- The ISIMIP3b repository (https://data.isimip.org/search/tree/ISIMIP3b/InputData/climate/atmosphere/) contains outputs from CMIP6-era models (GFDL-ESM4, IPSL-CM6A-LR, MPI-ESM1-2-HR, MRI-ESM2-0, and UKSEM1-0-LL) for specific scenarios
+- If a user wishes to explore other CMIP models or bias-correct model data against different observational data than that used by ISIMIP, the BASD python package (https://github.com/JGCRI/basd) is available for ease of use. BASD implements an extension of the bias adjustment and statistical downscaling method used in ISIMIP3b (ISIMIP3BASD, Lange 2021 https://zenodo.org/records/4686991 and  https://gmd.copernicus.org/articles/12/3055/2019/). The ISIMIP3BASD code base can also be used directly. For additional information, please see https://www.isimip.org/documents/413/ISIMIP3b_bias_adjustment_fact_sheet_Gnsz7CO.pdf 
+- If a user wishes to explore novel scenarios not covered by CMIP models or the ISIMIP collection, we suggest a combination of STITCHES emulation (https://github.com/JGCRI/stitches) and BASD bias correction and downscaling. 
+
+HELPS has been tested with both ISIMIP data and outputs from BASD.
