 ## Download and Installation
 
-LIT can be run via container image, installed via `pip` or built from source.
-Building from source is necessary if you update any of the front-end or core
-back-end code.
+LIT can be installed via `pip` or built from source. Building from source is
+necessary if you want to make code changes.
 
-### Build container image
+### Install from PyPI with pip
 
-Build the image using `docker` or `podman`:
 ```sh
-git clone https://github.com/PAIR-code/lit.git && cd lit
-docker build --file Dockerfile --tag lit-nlp .
+pip install lit-nlp
 ```
 
-See the [advanced guide](https://pair-code.github.io/lit/documentation/docker) for detailed instructions on using the
-default LIT Docker image, running LIT as a containerized web app in different
-scenarios, and how to creating your own LIT images.
-
-### pip installation
+The default `pip` installation will install all required packages to use the LIT
+Python API, built-in interpretability components, and web application. To
+install dependencies for the provided demos or test suite, install LIT with the
+appropriate optional dependencies.
 
 ```sh
-pip install lit-nlp
-```
+# To install dependencies for the discriminative AI examples (GLUE, Penguin)
+pip install 'lit-nlp[examples-discriminative-ai]'
 
-The `pip` installation will install all necessary prerequisite packages for use
-of the core LIT package.
+# To install dependencies for the generative AI examples (Prompt Debugging)
+pip install 'lit-nlp[examples-generative-ai]'
 
-It **does not** install the prerequisites for the provided demos, so you need to
-install those yourself. See
-[requirements_examples.txt](./requirements_examples.txt) for the list of
-packages required to run the demos.
+# To install dependencies for all examples plus the test suite
+pip install 'lit-nlp[test]'
+```
 
 ### Install from source
 
 Clone the repo:
 
 ```sh
-git clone https://github.com/PAIR-code/lit.git && cd lit
+git clone https://github.com/PAIR-code/lit.git
+cd lit
 ```

 Note: be sure you are running Python 3.9+. If you have a different version on
 your system, use the `conda` instructions below to set up a Python 3.9
 environment.
 
-Set up a Python environment with `venv`:
+Set up a Python environment with `venv` (or your preferred environment manager).
+Note that these instructions assume you will be making code changes to LIT and
+includes the full requirements for all examples and the test suite. See the
+other optional dependency possibilities in the install with pip section.
 
 ```sh
 python -m venv .venv
 source .venv/bin/activate
+python -m pip install -e '.[test]'
 ```
 
-Or set up a Python environment using `conda`:
+The LIT repo does not include a distributable version of the LIT app. You must
+build it from source.
 
 ```sh
-conda create --name lit-nlp
-conda activate lit-nlp
-conda install python=3.9
-conda install pip
-```
-
-Once you have the environment, install LIT's dependencies:
-```sh
-python -m pip install -r requirements.txt
-python -m pip install cudnn cupti  # optional, for GPU support
-python -m pip install torch  # optional, for PyTorch
-
-# Build the frontend
 (cd lit_nlp; yarn && yarn build)
 ```
 
-Note: Use the `-r requirements.txt` option to install every dependency required
-for the LIT library, its test suite, and the built-in examples. You can also
-install subsets of these using the `-r requirements_core.txt` (core library),
-`-r requirements_test.txt` (test suite), `-r requirements_examples.txt`
-(examples), and/or any combination thereof.

 ## Running LIT

 [demos page](https://pair-code.github.io/lit/demos).
 
+### Using container images
+
+See the [containerization guide](https://pair-code.github.io/lit/documentation/docker) for instructions on using LIT
+locally in Docker, Podman, etc.
+
+LIT also provides pre-built images that can take advantage of accelerators,
+making Generative AI and LLM use cases easier to work with. Check out the
+[LIT on GCP docs](https://codelabs.developers.google.com/codelabs/responsible-ai/lit-on-gcp)
