 # Installation
-
-> - [Develop](./develop.md) describes how to install locally.
-> - [Docker](./install_docker.md) describes container usage.
+This document describes installation instructions for users. For those that wish to modify or develop custom code within **geomag-algorithms**, or prefer to install the Docker container, please see the following documents:
+> - [Develop](./develop.md) provides installation instruction for developers
+> - [Docker](./install_docker.md) describes Docker container installation and usage.
 
 ## Requirements:
 
-- Python 3.6 or newer
-- ObsPy 1.2.1 or newer
+- Python 3.8 to 3.11
+- ObsPy 1.4.0
 
 ## Procedure:
 
-1.  Install Python and dependencies
+### Option 1: Anaconda/Miniconda (https://conda.io/miniconda.html):
+1.  Set up environment & install dependencies
 
-    - Option 1: Anaconda/Miniconda (https://conda.io/miniconda.html):
+        conda create --name=geomagenv --channel conda-forge python=3 obspy pycurl
+        source activate geomagenv
 
-          conda create --name=geomagenv --channel conda-forge python=3 obspy pycurl
-          source activate geomagenv
+2.  Install **geomagio**
 
-    - Option 2: Pip
+        pip install git+https://code.usgs.gov/ghsc/geomag/geomag-algorithms.git
 
-      > `pyenv` can install specific/multiple versions of python
-      >
-      > - https://github.com/pyenv/pyenv
-      > - https://github.com/pyenv-win/pyenv-win
+### Option 2: Venv and pip
+1.  Create a virtual environment using `venv` (recommended)
 
-          # create virtual environment (optional)
-          python -m venv path/to/geomagenv
-          source path/to/geomagenv/bin/activate
+        python -m venv path/to/your/environment
 
-          # install dependencies
-          pip install numpy
-          pip install obspy
+      > `venv` is a tool included with Python 3.3 and above that allows you to create isolated Python environments, each with their own set of installed packages, which can help you manage different projects without package conflicts. Each environment is stored within a folder of the user's choosing. 
+      > 
+      > You can find more information on using `venv` [here](https://packaging.python.org/en/latest/guides/installing-using-pip-and-virtual-environments/#creating-a-virtual-environment).
 
-2.  Install **geomagio**
+2.  Install **geomagio** within the virtual environment
 
+        source path/to/your/environment/bin/activate
         pip install git+https://code.usgs.gov/ghsc/geomag/geomag-algorithms.git
 
-3.  Use **geomagio**
+### Using **geomagio**
+**geomagio** is the Python module for interfacing with geomag-algorithms. 
 
     - Use the main script, `geomag.py -h`
-    - In python scripts, `import geomagio`
-    - Interactively with Jupyter notebooks ( http://jupyter.org/install.html )
+    - In Python scripts or Jupyter notebooks, `import geomagio`
