+=== Earth Sciences environment ===
+
+If you are logged in to any of the BSC Earth Sciences machines, you simply need to load Autosubmit from the module's system:
+
+`module load autosubmit`
+
+If you want to see the list of available versions, just type:
+
+`module av autosubmit`
+
+=== How to deploy/setup Autosubmit (v3) ===
+
+If you need Autosubmit 3.x on a non ES machine, you can download and install it by typing
+
+`pip install autosubmit`
+
+And follow installation indstructions in the [User manual](http://www.bsc.es/projects/earthscience/autosubmit/installation.html)
+
+=== How to deploy/setup Autosubmit (v2) ===
+
+If you need an older version (2.x) you must download it by typing:
+
+<code>git clone https://earth.bsc.es/gitlab/es/autosubmit.git</code>
+
+and then you can switch to the required tag with
+
+<code>git checkout tags/<tag_name></code>
+
+Pre-requisties: These packages (python2, python-argparse, python-dateutil, python-pydot, python-matplotlib, sqlite3) must be available at local machine. And the machine is also able to access HPC's/Clusters via password-less ssh.
+
+Create a repository for experiments: Say for example "/cfu/autosubmit" then edit the repository path into src/dir_config.py, src/expid.py, conf/autosubmit.conf
+Create a blank database: Say for example "autosubmit.db" at above created repository and thereafter:
+  > cd /cfu/autosubmit
+  > sqlite3 autosubmit.db
+  sqlite3>.read ../../src/autosubmit.sql
+  > chmod 777 autosubmit.db
