 The library contains templates for common types of model steps, plus a tool called ModelManager that runs as an extension to the [Orca](https://udst.github.io/orca) task orchestrator. ModelManager can register template-based model steps with the orchestrator, save them to disk, and automatically reload them for future sessions.

 .. note::
     It can be helpful to set up a dedicated Python environment for each project you work on. This lets you use a stable and replicable set of libraries that won't be affected by other projects. Here are some good `environment settings <https://gist.github.com/smmaurer/f3a4f424a4aa877fb73e1cb2567bd89d>`__ for UrbanSim Templates projects.
