 Installation
 ============
 
-Rhino 8 comes with its own CPython executable (Python 3.9).
-This procedure simply uses that executable and its associated ``pip`` to install COMPAS.
-The location of the executable is different on different platforms.
+To use COMPAS packages in your Rhino 8 CPython scripts,
+you can now simply add the packages as requirements in a comment.
 
-* Windows: ``%USERPROFILE%\.rhinocode\py39-rh8\python.exe``
-* macOS: ``~/.rhinocode/py39-rh8/python3.9``
+.. code-block:: python
 
-.. note::
+    #! python3
+    # r: compas
 
-    If you already have an installation of COMPAS on your system, you can try finding the Rhino 8 Python executable by running the following in a terminal or command prompt:
+    import compas
+    from compas.datastructures import Mesh
 
-    .. code-block:: bash
+    mesh = ...
 
-        python -m compas_rhino.print_python_path
+More information is available here: <https://developer.rhino3d.com/guides/scripting/scripting-command>
 
-Update `pip`
-~~~~~~~~~~~~
 
-Before installing `compas` with `pip`, it is highly recommended that you update `pip` itself.
+Alternative Method
+==================
 
-.. code-block:: bash
+The above method only works if the package you want to install is available on `PyPI <https://pypi.org/>`_.
+If you want to install a package from local source,
+you can use `pip` directly in combination with the Python executable that is included in Rhino.
+The default location of the executable is different for Windows and Mac.
 
-    $ ~/.rhinocode/py39-rh8/python3.9 -m pip install --upgrade pip
+* Windows: ``%USERPROFILE%\.rhinocode\py39-rh8\python.exe``
+* macOS: ``~/.rhinocode/py39-rh8/python3.9``
 
+.. code-block:: bash
 
-Install from PyPI
-~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+    $ cd path/to/compas
+    $ ~/.rhinocode/py39-rh8/python3.9 -m pip install .
 
-For example on Mac:
+To create an editable install, you should update `pip` itself, first.
 
 .. code-block:: bash
 
-    $ ~/.rhinocode/py39-rh8/python3.9 -m pip install compas
-
-
-Install from Source
-~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+    $ ~/.rhinocode/py39-rh8/python3.9 -m pip install --upgrade pip
 
 .. code-block:: bash
