 WizardHat is a library for the streaming and handling of EEG data from consumer-grade devices using the Lab Streaming Layer (LSL) protocol. WizardHat's prupose is to enable users and especially first timers to flexibly build brain-computer interfaces (BCIs) without the fuss of configuring a streaming environment. WizardHat was built by Merlin Neurotech at Queen's University. Currently, WizardHat supports the Muse (2016) brain-sensing headband, the OpenBCI Ganglion, and runs on Python 3.6. WizardHat is easy to use and only requires three lines of code to get started. WizardHat's framework enables streaming, manipulation, and visualization of online EEG data.

 ## Getting Started
 
-To set up WizardHat, begin by cloning this repository on your local environment. Once cloned, ensure you are in a new virtual environment and download the required dependencies.
+The procedure for installing WizardHat depends on whether or not you will be contributing to its development. In either case, begin by creating and activating a new python virtual environment.
 
+### Installing for use only
+Simply run
+
+	pip install wizardhat
+
+This will automatically install the most recent release of WizardHat along with the required dependencies.
+
+### Installing for development
+To set up WizardHat for development, begin by forking the repository on GitHub, then clone your fork:
+
+	git clone https://github.com/<your-github-username>/WizardHat.git
+
+If you are also developing for ble2lsl, fork and then clone the ble2lsl repository as well, and install its dependencies:
+
+	git clone https://github.com/<your-github-username>/ble2lsl.git
+	cd ble2lsl
 	pip install -r requirements.txt
+	pip install -e .
+	cd ..
+
+Whether or not you cloned ble2lsl, install the remaining dependencies for WizardHat:
+
+  cd WizardHat
+	pip install -r requirements.txt
+
+### Finally

 Next, to ensure a bug free experience, open [your virtual env name]/lib/python3.6/site packages/pygatt/backends/bgapi/bgapi.py in a text or code editor and add:
 
 	time.sleep(0.25)
 
-between line 200 and 201 and save the file. This ensures that the bluetooth protocol will be given adequate time to connect to the Muse before timing out.
