 =====================
 
 # Installation
-This module is currently in very early development, and is perhaps best installed in developer mode.
 - (Recommended) create a virtual environment
-    - In the openflexure-microscope-software directory, create a venv with `python3 -m venv env`
+    - Create a virtual environment with `python3 -m venv env` (or your favourite virtual environment system)
     - Activate with `source env/bin/activate`
-    - Install dependencies with `sudo apt-get install libatlas-base-dev libjasper-dev libjpeg-dev`
-    - Install requirements with `pip install -r requirements.txt`
-- Install module in developer mode by running `python3 setup.py develop`
-    - Installing in developer mode allows the module to be modified by editing files directly in the openflexure-microscope-software directory.
+- Install non-python dependencies with `sudo apt-get install libatlas-base-dev libjasper-dev libjpeg-dev`
+- Install module by running `pip install openflexure-microscope==1.0.0b0`

+# Usage
 ## Running the web API in Gunicorn (port 5000)
 - Ensure Gunicorn is installed to the current environment (`pip install gunicorn`)
 - Run `gunicorn --threads 5 --workers 1 --bind 0.0.0.0:5000 openflexure_microscope.api.app:app`
-    - Alternatively, run `source start_interface` from the openflexure-microscope-software directory.
-
-## Running tests through the PTVSD remote debugger (port 3000)
-- From the openflexure-microscope-software directory, run `python3 -m ptvsd --host 0.0.0.0 --port 3000 --wait tests/test_camera.py`
 
 # REST(ish) API
 The Flask app serves a (reasonably) RESTful web API. For most user-facing functionality, this is the preferred interface. 
 API documentation, with example requests, is available [here](https://openflexure-microscope-software.readthedocs.io/en/latest/api.html).

+## Build-system
+As of 1.0.0b0, we're using [Poetry](https://github.com/sdispater/poetry) to manage dependencies, build, and distribute the package. All package information and dependencies are found in `pyproject.toml`, in line with [PEP 518](https://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0518/). If you're developing this package, make use of `poetry.lock` to ensure you're using the latest locked dependency list.
+
+## Microscope plugins
 The Microscope module, and Flask app, both support plugins for extending lower-level functionality not well suited to web API calls. 
 This plugin system is still in fairly early development, and is not yet properly documented. The current documentation can be found [here](https://openflexure-microscope-software.readthedocs.io/en/latest/plugins.html).
