+There are 2 components to Bystro:
+ 1. The Bystro annotator: a Perl program accessed through the command line (via bin/bystro-*)
+ 2. The Bystro Python package: where the rest of Bystro's functionality lives (statistics, proteomics, etc).

+1.  Ensure that packages are up to date (`sudo apt update`), or that you are satisified with the state of package versions.
+2.  `git clone https://github.com/akotlar/bystro.git && cd bystro && source ./install-apt.sh`
+    - Please note that this installation script requires root priveleges, in order to install system dependencies
+
+## Installing the Bystro Python libraries and cli tools
+
+We recommend using Miniconda to manage Bystro Python dependencies: https://docs.conda.io/projects/miniconda/en/latest/
 
-###### (Ubuntu)
+Once Bystro annotator installation is complete, and assuming Conda/Miniconda has been installed, run :
 
-1.  `git clone https://github.com/akotlar/bystro.git && cd bystro && source ./install-apt.sh`

+echo -e "\n### Bystro: Done installing Rust! Now sourcing .cargo/env for use in the current shell ###\n"
+source "$HOME/.cargo/env"
+# Create or activate Bystro conda environment and install all dependencies
+# This assumes you are in the bystro folder
+source .initialize_conda_env.sh;
+```
+
+to install the Python package dependencies. Then, run:
+```
+# Build the Python package for local use
+make build
+```

 Once Bystro is installed, it needs to be configured. The easiest step is choosing the species/assemblies to annotate.
