+Install
+=======
+
+MOVE is distributed as ``move-dl``, a Python package.
+
+It requires Python 3.9 (or later) and third-party libraries, such as `PyTorch`_
+and `Hydra`_. These dependencies will be installed automatically when you
+install with ``pip``.
+
+Install the stable version
+--------------------------
+
+We recommend installing ``move-dl`` in a fresh virtual environment. If you wish
+to learn how to create and manage virtual environments with Conda, please
+follow `these instructions`_.
+
+The latest stable version of ``move-dl`` can be installed with ``pip``.
+
+.. code-block:: bash
+
+    >>> pip install move-dl
+
+Install the development version
+-------------------------------
+
+If you wish to install the development of ``move-dl``, create a new virtual
+environment, and do:
+
+.. code-block:: bash
+
+    >>> pip install git+https://github.com/RasmussenLab/MOVE@developer
+
+Alternatively, you can clone ``move-dl`` from `GitHub`_ and install by
+running the following command from the top-level source directory:
+
+.. code-block:: bash
+
+    >>> pip install -e .
+
+The ``-e`` flag installs the project in "editable" mode, so you can follow the
+development branch and update your installation by pulling from GitHub.
