+You may want to set a virtual enviroment to run it using
 
-```text
-> cd mkauthlist
-> python3 -m venv mkauthlistDESI
-> source mkauthlistDESI/bin/activate
+```shell
+python3 -m venv mkauthlistDESI
+source mkauthlistDESI/bin/activate
 ```
 
 Then you can simply install it by
 
-```text
-> python3 setup.py install
+```shell
+python3 -m pip install .

+With this, if the code is changed/updated, for changes to take effect you will need to re-install.
+To avoid this, you can use
+```shell
+python3 -m pip install -e .
+```
+
+If you do not worry about conflicts with the DES version, you can install the code with one of the commands above without setting up a virtual environment.
