+### Dependencies (git):
+
+Git is required to clone repositories from Github. It's also required for code development and version control.
+
+##### Windows
+1. If you already installed Git Bash, this is covered
+
+##### MacOS
+1. Make sure you've installed Homebrew from the previous step (make)
+
+2. Install Git from the command line using:
+    ```shell
+    brew install git
+    ```
+
+##### Linux (Debian-based distros)
+1. Run the following command in terminal
+    ```shell
+    sudo apt-get install git
+    ```
+
+##### Linux (Arch)
+1. Run the following command in terminal
+    ```shell
+    sudo pacman -Su git
+    ```
+
+Once you've installed Git, it still needs to be configured. First, set your name and email (associated with commits). This can be achieved with the following command:
+
+```shell
+git config --global user.name "Your Name"
+git config --global user.email "you@example.com"
+```
+
+### Dependencies (OpenModelica):
+
+Go to the [OpenModelica Website](https://openmodelica.org/). Under "Download", pick your specified operating system. Installation varies across machines, but reach out to code owners if you run into any issues. Note that this process is easiest on Windows and probably most difficult on MacOS (need to install via a Docker container).
+
+##### Arch
+1. Run the following commands in terminal
+    ```shell
+    yay -S openmodelica
+    yay -S openmodelica-omlibraries
+    ```
+Make sure the second checkbox is checked

 ### Dependencies (docker):
 
 Docker isn't required to run workflows locally, but it is highly recommended. Docker containers give a unified runtime environment, making debugging easier with fewer runtime issues.
