1.The first thing we would need to do is increase the planetary temperature.
2.We could then introduce cyanobacteria to convert the atmospheric carbon dioxide into oxygen, and eventually nitrogen fixing organisms to convert ammonia into nitrogen.
3.We could also mine nitrogen from the Venusian atmosphere.
4.With the thicker atmosphere and subsequent higher temperatures, the ice trapped at the poles would melt, likely covering the majority of the northern hemisphere in a vast ocean.
5.The colonist would also need to carefully monitor the atmosphere, as the lack of a magnetic field would allow the solar winds to slowly strip it away. This process would be very slow, occurring over thousands of years, but it would require further efforts from atmospheric engineers.
