-# Building MOOSE from source
+# Building MOOSE 
 
-To build `MOOSE` from source, you need `cmake`.
+To build `MOOSE` from source, you need `cmake` and `python-setuptools`. We
+recommend to use Python 3.5 or higher. Python 2.7 is also supported. 
 
-Download the latest source code of moose from github.
-
-    $ git clone -b master https://github.com/BhallaLab/moose-core --depth 50 
-
-## Install dependencies
+Before running the following command to build and install, make sure that
+followings are installed.
 
 - gsl-1.16 or higher.
-- libhdf5-dev (optional)
-- python-dev
 - python-numpy
 
-On Ubuntu-14.04 or higher, these can be installed with:
+On Ubuntu-16.04 or higher, these dependencies can be installed with:
 
-    sudo apt-get install python-dev python-numpy libhdf5-dev cmake libgsl0-dev g++
+```
+sudo apt-get install python-pip python-numpy cmake libgsl-dev g++
+```
 
-SBML support is enabled by installing [python-libsbml](http://sbml.org/Software/libSBML/docs/python-api/libsbml-installation.html). Alternatively, it can be installed by using `python-pip`
+Now use `pip` to download and install the `pymoose`.
 
-    $ sudo pip install python-libsbml
+```
+$ pip install git+https://github.com/BhallaLab/moose-core --user
+```
+
+## Using cmake (For developers)
+
+`pip`  builds `pymoose` with default options, it runs `cmake` behind the scene.
+If you are developing moose, build it with different options, or needs to test
+and profile it, `cmake` based flow is recommended.
 
-## Use `cmake` to build moose:
+Install the required dependencies and download the latest source code of moose
+from github.
 
-    $ cd /path/to/moose-core
+    $ git clone https://github.com/BhallaLab/moose-core --depth 50 
+    $ cd moose-core
     $ mkdir _build
     $ cd _build
     $ cmake ..
     $ make -j3  
     $ ctest -j3 --output-on-failure
 
-This will build moose, `ctest` will run few tests to check if build process was successful.

-To install MOOSE into non-standard directory, pass additional argument `-DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=path/to/install/dir` to cmake.
+To install MOOSE into non-standard directory, pass additional argument
+`-DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=path/to/install/dir` to during configuration. E.g.,
 
-### Python3
+   $ mkdir _build && cd _build    # inside moose-core directory.
+   $ cmake -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=$HOME/.local ..
+   $ make && make install
 
-    cmake -DPYTHON_EXECUTABLE=/opt/bin/python3 ..
+Will build and install pymoose to `~/.local`.
 
-### Install
+To use a non-default python installation, set
+`PYTHON_EXECUTATBLE=/path/to/python` e.g.,
 
-    $ sudo make install
+    $ cmake -DPYTHON_EXECUTABLE=/opt/bin/python3 ..
 
 ## Post installation
 
 Now you can import moose in a Python script or interpreter with the statement:
 
-    import moose
-    moose.test()   # will take time. Not all tests will pass.
+    >>> import moose
+    >>> moose.test()   # will take time. Not all tests will pass.
+
+# Notes
+
+SBML support is enabled by installing
+[python-libsbml](http://sbml.org/Software/libSBML/docs/python-api/libsbml-installation.html).
+Alternatively, it can be installed by using `python-pip`
+
+    $ sudo pip install python-libsbml
