 ### Python package
 
+#### Prerequisites

+To prevent problems with permissions during installation, please upgrade your `pip` by running `python -m pip install -U pip --user`.

 Legendary is available on [PyPI](https://pypi.org/project/legendary-gl/), to install simply run:
+
 ```bash
 pip install legendary-gl
 ```

-Note that in this example we used `sudo` to install the package on the system, this may not be advisable depending on your setup.
+If the `legendary` executable is not available after installation, you may need to configure your `PATH` correctly. You can do this by running the command: 
+
+```bash
+echo 'export PATH=$PATH:~/.local/bin' >> ~/.profile && source ~/.profile

 ### Directly from the repo (for dev/testing)
 
 - Install python3.8 and requests (optionally in a venv)
-- cd into `legendary/` (the folder with `cli.py`)
+- cd into the repository
-- run `PYTHONPATH=.. python3.8 cli.py`
