 The `path_provider` plugin has reached a stable API, we guarantee that version `1.0.0` will be backward compatible with `0.0.y+z`.

 For more details see: https://github.com/flutter/flutter/wiki/Package-migration-to-1.0.0
 
 ## Usage
 
-### Import the package
-
-To use this plugin in your Flutter linux app, simply add it as a dependency in
-your `pubspec.yaml` alongside the base `path_provider` plugin.
-
-_(This is only temporary: in the future we hope to make this package an
-"endorsed" implementation of `path_provider`, so that it is automatically
-included in your Flutter linux app when you depend on `package:path_provider`.)_
-
-This is what the above means to your `pubspec.yaml`:
-
-```yaml
-...
-dependencies:
-  ...
-  path_provider: ^1.5.1
-  path_provider_linux: ^0.0.1
-  ...
-```
-
-### Use the plugin
-
-Once you have the `path_provider_linux` dependency in your pubspec, you should
-be able to use `package:path_provider` as normal.
+This package is already included as part of the `path_provider` package dependency, and will
+be included when using `path_provider` as normal. You will need to use version 1.6.10 or newer.
