 This is a quick script that is probably used only once to migrate the data from the 
 old `ldvadmin` database to the new `ldv-spec-db` database.
 
+### Deploying (manually)
+For example on `sdc@dop814.astron.nl` (this is our sdc-dev test machine) 
+
+```
+# only once
+> cd ~
+> mkdir ldv-migrate
+> cd ldvspec-migrate
+> virtualenv env3.8 -p python3.8 (on ubuntu)
+> python3 -m venv env3.8 (on centos)
+> source env3.8/bin/activate
+```
+
 ### Installation
 ```bash
 # Using pip install (requires valid ssh key, until the repo is set to public)
+
+
 pip install -e "git+https://git.astron.nl/ldv/ldv_utils.git#egg=ldvspec-migration&subdirectory=ldv_migrate" --upgrade
 pip install -e "git+https://git.astron.nl/ldv/ldv_utils.git@SDC-708-add-ldv-migrate-script#egg=ldvspec-migration&subdirectory=ldv_migrate" --upgrade
