 ## System requirements
 
 Chap is developed on Linux with Python 3.11. Due to use of the `list[int]` style of type hints, it is known not to work on 3.8 and older; the target minimum Python version is 3.9 (debian oldstable).

+Install with e.g., `pipx install chap`, or `pip install chap` in a virtual environment.
 
-## configuration
+## Installation for development
+
+Install in developer mode e.g., with `pip install -e .`.
+In this mode, you get the "chap" commandline program installed but can edit the source files in place.
+This is the [recommended practice per PyPA](https://setuptools.pypa.io/en/latest/userguide/development_mode.html).
+
+A shim script `chap.py` is included so that the older development style of `pip install -r requirements.txt` + `python chap.py` (or `./chap.py`) functions as well.
+
+## Configuration
 
 Put your OpenAI API key in the platform configuration directory for chap, e.g., on linux/unix systems at `~/.config/chap/openai_api_key`

 ## Environment variables
 
 The backend can be set with `CHAP_BACKEND`.
 Backend settings can be set with `CHAP_<backend_name>_<parameter_name>`, with `backend_name` and `parameter_name` all in caps.
-For instance, `CHAP_LLAMA_CPP_URL=http://server.local:8080/completion` changes the default server URL for the llama_cpp back-end.
