• cd into the test_recipes/hello-cython folder
• activate the skbuild environment: conda activate skbuild. For older conda (<4.4) installations, follow legacy instructions at https://conda.io/docs/user-guide/tasks/manage-environments.html#activating-an-environment
• run python setup.py install. Success is indicated by output ending in lines like:
