Before starting any development, you'll need to create an isolated xarray
development environment:

- Install `Pixi <https://pixi.sh/latest/installation/>`_
- Make sure your Pixi is up to date (``pixi self-update``)
- `Install Pixi <https://pixi.sh/latest/installation/>`_ - preferably the same version as the one listed in our ``ci.yaml`` `file <https://github.com/pydata/xarray/blob/main/.github/workflows/ci.yaml>`_

- Some features in Pixi are in active development, and xarray depends on these features.
Using the same version results in the best dev experience.
- Instructions for installing specific versions of Pixi can be seen on the Pixi installation page.
- Make sure that you have :ref:`cloned the repository <contributing.dev_workflow>`
- ``cd`` to the *xarray* source directory
