+Development & Testing
+---------------------
+
+To install `picas` source code for development, first clone the repository and then use [`poetry`](https://python-poetry.org/docs/) to install. `poetry` is a tool for dependency managing and packaging in Python. If you don't have `poetry`, install it first with `pipx install poetry`.
 ```
 git clone git@github.com:sara-nl/picasclient.git
 cd picasclient
-pip install -U .
+poetry install --with test
 ```
+Note that poetry will create a virtual environment if it is not running withing an activated virtual environment already. In that case, you will need to run `poetry run` before your commands to execute them within the poetry virtual environment.
 
-Testing

-First, install the test dependencies with 
-```
-pip install ".[test]"
