-Developer install
-=================
-
-
-To install a developer version of ipylab, you will first need to clone
-the repository::
-
-    git clone https://github.com//ipylab
-    cd ipylab
-
-Next, install it with a develop install using pip::
-
-    pip install -e .
-
-
-If you are planning on working on the JS/frontend code, you should also do
-a link installation of the extension::
-
-    jupyter nbextension install [--sys-prefix / --user / --system] --symlink --py ipylab
-
-    jupyter nbextension enable [--sys-prefix / --user / --system] --py ipylab
-
-with the `appropriate flag`_. Or, if you are using Jupyterlab::
-
-    jupyter labextension install .

-Installation
-============
-
-
-The simplest way to install ipylab is via pip::
-
-    pip install ipylab
-
-or via conda::
-
-    conda install ipylab
-
-
-If you installed via pip, and notebook version < 5.3, you will also have to
-install / configure the front-end extension as well. If you are using classic
-notebook (as opposed to Jupyterlab), run::
-
-    jupyter nbextension install [--sys-prefix / --user / --system] --py ipylab
-
-    jupyter nbextension enable [--sys-prefix / --user / --system] --py ipylab
-
-with the `appropriate flag`_. If you are using Jupyterlab, install the extension
-with::
-
-    jupyter labextension install ipylab
-
-If you are installing using conda, these commands should be unnecessary, but If
-you need to run them the commands should be the same (just make sure you choose the
-`--sys-prefix` flag).
