 Installation
 --------
 
-install using 'pip install ntrfc'
+The easiest way to use this repository is to install ntrfc using 'pip install ntrfc'
 or install using 'python -m setup install'
 
 when installing from conda, you will run into issues with vtk while using a pip installation of ntrfc.
 simply run:
     'conda install -c conda-forge vtk'
 
-as a dev use "pip install -e ntrfc" for a linked install.
-this way you dont have to reinstall the package after altering the sourcecode.
