+## Arches for Science 2.0.0 Release Notes
+
+
+### Bug Fixes and Enhancements
+
+-   Upgrades Arches for Science to work with the latest Arches 7.6.x release #[1570](https://github.com/archesproject/arches-for-science/pull/1570)
+
+### Dependency changes:
+
+```
+Python:
+    Upgraded:
+        None
+JavaScript:
+    Upgraded:
+        none
+```
+
+## Installation
+
+If you are installing Arches for Science for the first time, you can install it as an Arches application into a project or run it directly as an Arches project. Running Arches for Science as a project can provide some convienience if you are a developer contributing to the Arches for Science project. Otherwise, **we strongly recommend running Arches for Science as an Arches Application** within a project because that will allow greater flexibility in customizing your project without the risk of conflicts when upgrading to the next version of Arches for Science.  
+
+
+### If installing for development
+Clone the arches-for-science repo and checkout the latest `dev/x.x.x` branch. 
+Navigate to the `arches-for-science` directory from your terminal and run:
+ ```
+pip install -e .
+ ```
+
+### If installing for deployment, run:
+```
+pip install arches-for-science
+```
+
+`Important`: Installing the arches-for-science app will install Arches as a dependency. This may replace your current install of Arches with a version from PyPi. If you've installed Arches for development using the `--editable` flag, you'll need to re pip install arches after installing arches-for-science
+
+## 2. Project Configuration
+
+1. If you don't already have an Arches project, you'll need to create one by following the instructions in the Arches [documentation](http://archesproject.org/documentation/).
+Since Arches for Science uses `Cantaloupe` as its IIIF server, take notice of the
+Cantaloupe [installation instructions](https://arches.readthedocs.io/en/stable/developing/advanced/managing-and-hosting-iiif/), too.
+
+2. When your project is ready add "arches_templating", "arches_for_science", and "pgtrigger" to INSTALLED_APPS **below** the name of your project:
+```
+INSTALLED_APPS = (
+    ...
+    "my_project_name",
+    "arches_templating",
+    "arches_for_science",
+    "pgtrigger",
+)
+```
+
+Below the `INSTALLED_APPS` setting add the following setting:
+```
+INSTALLED_APPS += ("arches.app",)
+```
+
+Also add the following lines to settings.py. (Note: ``arches-project create``
+before Arches 6.2.6 or 7.5.0 did not create ``RENDERERS``, so you may need to
+[add it first](https://github.com/archesproject/arches/pull/10171/files)
+before extending it as shown below):
+```
+FUNCTION_LOCATIONS.append("arches_for_science.pkg.extensions.functions")
+
+TEMPLATES[0]["OPTIONS"]["context_processors"].append("arches_for_science.utils.context_processors.project_settings")
+
+RENDERERS += [
+    {
+        "name": "xy-reader",
+        "title": "XY Data File Reader",
+        "description": "Use for all instrument outputs with x-y data",
+        "id": "e93b7b27-40d8-4141-996e-e59ff08742f3",
+        "iconclass": "fa fa-bolt",
+        "component": "views/components/cards/file-renderers/xy-reader",
+        "ext": "txt",
+        "type": "text/plain",   
+        "exclude": "",
+    },
+]
+
+XY_TEXT_FILE_FORMATS = ["txt"]
+
+X_FRAME_OPTIONS = "SAMEORIGIN"
+```
+
+Next ensure arches and arches_for_science are included as dependencies in package.json
+```
+"dependencies": {
+    "arches": "archesproject/arches#dev/7.6.x",
+    "arches_for_science": "archesproject/arches-for-science#dev/2.0.x"
+}
+```
+
+Update urls.py to include the arches-for-science urls
+```
+urlpatterns = [
+    path("", include("arches.urls")),
+    path("", include("arches_for_science.urls")),
+    path("reports/", include("arches_templating.urls")),
+] + static(settings.MEDIA_URL, document_root=settings.MEDIA_ROOT)
+```
+
+Install the arches application package (models and other data)
+```
+python manage.py packages -o load_package -a arches_for_science -dev -y
+```
+
+Start your project
+```
+python manage.py runserver
+```
+
+Next cd into your project's app directory (the one with package.json e.g. `$PROJECT_NAME/$PROJECT_NAME/`) install and build front-end dependencies:
+```
+npm install
+npm run build_development
+```
+
+
+
+
+
+### Upgrading Arches for Science
+
+If you are running Arches for Science as a project (upgrading from a version prior to AfS v1.1.0), you will need to follow the project upgrade instructions for Arches 7.6.0. 
+
+If you are running Arches for Science as an Arches application (using AfS v1.1.0) you will need to do the following: 
+
+2. Upgrade to Arches 7.6.3
+    ```
+    pip install --upgrade arches==7.6.3
+    ```
+
+3. If you are running Arches on Apache, restart your server:
+    ```
+    sudo service apache2 reload
+    ```
