+# TEMPLATE MDAKit file
+# --------------------
+# 
+# Please replace ALL entries with appropriate content for YOUR MDAKit.
+# Below we use the placeholder GH_HOST_ACCOUNT for the GitHub account where
+# the source code repository is held, typically your username or the 
+# organization that you're part off.
+# MYPROJECT is the name of your project (the repository name and here
+# we assume that this is also the PyPi/conda package name) whereas 
+# MYPACKAGE is how you import it in python.
+#
+# See https://mdakits.mdanalysis.org/add.html for more information.

+## List(str): a list of commands to use when installing the latest
+## release of the code. Note: only one installation method can currently
+## be defined. We suggest using mamba where possible (e.g.
+##   mamba -c conda-forge install MYPROJECT
+## for a conda package installation).
+## Here we use a simple PyPi installation:
+install:
+  - pip install lipidoderkit
+
+## List(str): a list of commands to use when installing the mdakit from its
+## source code.
+src_install:
+  - pip install git+https://github.com/ricard1997/lipidorderkit@main
+
+## str: the package name used to import the mdakit
+import_name: from lipidorder import lipid_order
+
+## str: a specification for the range of Python versions supported by this MDAKit
+python_requires: ">=3.10"
+
+## str: a specification for the range of MDAnalysis versions supported by this MDAKit
+mdanalysis_requires: ">=2.0.0"
+
+## List(str): a list of commands to use when attempting to run the MDAKit's tests
+## If you package your tests inside your package then you can typically use the 
+##     pytest --pyargs MYPACKAGE
+## command as shown below. 
+## Otherwise you need to include commands to make the tests available. 
+## For example, if the tests are in the repository at the top level under `./tests`:
+## First use `git clone latest` to either clone the top commit for "development code" checks or check out
+## the latest tag for "latest release" checks. Then then run pytest:
+##    - git clone latest
+##    - pytest -v ./tests
+## Feel free to ask for advice on your pull request!
+run_tests:
+  - pytest --pyargs lipidorderkit
+
+## List(str): a list of commands to use to install the necessary dependencies required
+## to run the MDAKit's tests.
+## The default below _might_ be sufficient or you might not even need MDAnalysisTests:
+## make sure that it is appropriate for how you run tests.
+test_dependencies:
+  - mamba install pytest MDAnalysisTests
+
+## str: the organisation name the MDAKit falls under
+project_org: GH_HOST_ACCOUNT
+
+## str: the development status of the MDAKit
+## See https://pypi.org/classifiers/ for development status classifiers.
+development_status: Production/Stable
+
+## List(str) a list of publications to cite when using the MDAKit
+## Links to scientific publications or stable URLs (typically of the form
