 # sleap-deps
 Packages necessary for sleap build maintained by the SLEAP team.
+
+## tensorflow
+
+There is a Github Actions workflow `build_tensorflow.yml` that uses Github runners to build packages for us (and upload them to the `sleap-deps/label/dev` channel). But, if you would like to locally build and test the tensorflow package:
+
+1. Create the tensorflow build environment:
+
+```bash
+mamba env create -f environment.tensorflow.yml -n tf
+```
+
+2. Activate the tensorflow build environment:
+
+```bash
+mamba activate tf
+```
+
+3. Build the tensorflow conda package:
+
+#### Mac
+
+```bash
+conda build --debug.conda.tensorflow_macos --output-folder build.tensorflow_macos -c conda-forge
+```
+
+4. Test the conda package:
+
+#### Mac
+
+```bash
+mamba create -n tf_macos -c ./build.tensorflow_macos -c conda-forge tensorflow
+```
