-The preferred method is to use `Miniconda Python
+The best way to install ``diffpy.srfit`` is as part of the ``diffpy.cmi`` package.  Please
+see https://github.com/diffpy/diffpy.cmi for installation information.

+If for some reason you want to install the ``diffpy.srfit`` library on its own,

 and install from the "conda-forge" channel of Conda packages.
