-cotainr makes it easy to build Singularity/Apptainer containers for certain use cases.
+cotainr makes it easy to build Singularity/Apptainer containers for [certain use cases](https://cotainr.readthedocs.io/en/stable/user_guide/index.html#use-cases), e.g. building a container from a [Conda environment.yml file](https://conda.io/projects/conda/en/latest/user-guide/tasks/manage-environments.html#creating-an-environment-file-manually) is as simple as:
 
 ```shell
 $ cotainr build --base-image docker://ubuntu:22.04 --conda-env <YOUR_CONDA_ENV.yml>
 ```

 ## Installation
 
-cotainr has no external dependencies other than Python >= 3.8 and Singularity/Apptainer.
-This means that a release can be unpacked and run directly from the `bin/` directory.
-
-### Easybuild
+The recommended way to install cotainr is using pip:
 
-If you are using easybuild, then here is an easyconfig, you can use:
-
-```python
-easyblock = 'Tarball'
-
-name = 'cotainr'
-version = '2023.11.0'
-homepage = 'https://github.com/DeiC-HPC/container-builder'
-description = 'cotainr is a tool that helps making Singularity/Apptainer containers.'
+```bash
+pip install cotainr
+```
 
-sources = [ {
-  'filename': '%(name)s-%(version)s.tar.gz',
-  'download_filename': '%(version)s.tar.gz',
-  'source_urls':       ['https://github.com/DeiC-HPC/cotainr/archive/refs/tags'],
-} ]
+Alternatively, you may also simply download, unpack, and run cotainr directly from the `bin/` directory, which is possible since cotainr has no external dependencies other than Python and Singularity/Apptainer.
 
-toolchain = SYSTEM
+If you are using EasyBuild for managing your software stack, you may use the `cotainr_template.eb` EasyConfig as a starting point for installing cotainr via EasyBuild.
