+PyQtGraph is intended for use in mathematics / scientific / engineering applications.
-----------
+Despite being written entirely in python, the library is fast due to its
+heavy leverage of numpy for number crunching, Qt's GraphicsView framework for
+2D display, and OpenGL for 3D display.

 Installation Methods
 --------------------
 
+  * From pypi:  
+        `pip install pyqtgraph`
   * To use with a specific project, simply copy the pyqtgraph subdirectory
-      anywhere that is importable from your project. PyQtGraph may also be
+    anywhere that is importable from your project. 
-      used as a git subtree by cloning the git-core repository from github.
   * To install system-wide from source distribution:
         `$ python setup.py install`
   * For installation packages, see the website (pyqtgraph.org)
-  * On debian-like systems, pyqtgraph requires the following packages:
-        python-numpy, python-qt4 | python-pyside
-        For 3D support: python-opengl, python-qt4-gl | python-pyside.qtopengl
 
 Documentation
 -------------
 
-There are many examples; run `python -m pyqtgraph.examples` for a menu.
+The easiest way to learn pyqtgraph is to browse through the examples; run `python -m pyqtgraph.examples` for a menu.
 
-Some (incomplete) documentation exists at this time.
+The official documentation lives at http://pyqtgraph.org/documentation
-  * Easiest place to get documentation is at <http://www.pyqtgraph.org/documentation>
-  * If you acquired this code as a .tar.gz file from the website, then you can also look in
-      doc/html.
-  * If you acquired this code via GitHub, then you can build the documentation using sphinx.
-      From the documentation directory, run:
-          `$ make html`
