 3. Install pyscan with
 
 ```
-pip install .
+pip install -e .
 ```
 
+The `-e` makes the package editable, so that if you make modifications to your drivers, for example, you don't need to reinstall the package. This is the recommended method of installation since pyscan is largely intended to be modified when you add drivers for new instruments.
+
 ## Additional Requirements
 
 Some instruments require extra installations in order to use them. For example, Ocean Optics (now known as Ocean Insight) spectrometers require the python package `seabreeze`.  Thorlabs drivers may also require the installation of proprietary .dll files available on their website by installing Thorlabs Kinesis.
