+### From Github <img src=https://avatars.githubusercontent.com/github width=15px></img>
 
-[OPTIONAL] Install **Pandoc** (required for generation of reports in MS-Word format):
+You can install the development version of `{ospsuite.reportingengine}` from [GitHub](https://github.com/) with:
 
-* [Pandoc Installer (Windows)](https://github.com/jgm/pandoc/releases/download/2.9.2.1/pandoc-2.9.2.1-windows-x86_64.msi)
-* [Pandoc Installer (Linux)](https://github.com/jgm/pandoc/releases/download/2.9.2.1/pandoc-2.9.2.1-linux-amd64.tar.gz)
+```r
+# install.packages("remotes")
+remotes::install_github("Open-Systems-Pharmacology/OSPSuite.ReportingEngine")
+```
+### Using the package bundle &#128230;
 
-[OPTIONAL] Install **rsvg-convert** (required by Pandoc for conversion of images in SVG format)
+You can install the `{ospsuite.reportingengine}` package by downloading and installing its zip or tar.gz bundle.
 
-* [Installer (Windows)](https://github.com/miyako/console-rsvg-convert/releases)
-  * The installation folder must be added to the system path.
-* For Linux, **librsvg** package must be installed (package name depends on distribution, e.g. **librsvg2-bin** for Ubuntu).
+- The package bundle for the __release__ version is available [here &#128230;](https://ci.appveyor.com/project/open-systems-pharmacology-ci/OSPSuite-ReportingEngine/branch/master/artifacts).
+- The package bundle for the __development__ version is available [here &#128230;](https://ci.appveyor.com/project/open-systems-pharmacology-ci/OSPSuite-ReportingEngine/branch/develop/artifacts).
+- The package bundles for specific versions of `{ospsuite.reportingengine}` are available [here &#128230;](https://ci.appveyor.com/project/open-systems-pharmacology-ci/OSPSuite-ReportingEngine/history).
 
-# Development tasks
+Then, to install manually, replace the `path/to/ospsuite.reportingengine.zip` by your actual local path to the `.zip` or `tar.gz` file in the code below:
 
-## dev_mode
+```r
+install.packages(path/to/ospsuite.reportingengine.zip, repos = NULL)
+```
 
-  `devtools::dev_mode` function switches your version of R into "development mode". This is useful to avoid clobbering the existing versions of CRAN packages that you need for other tasks. Calling dev_mode() again will turn development mode off, and return you to your default library setup.
+To install the package along with its tests, the `.tar.gz` bundle is required. Then, use the `install-tests` option as illustrated below.
 
-```R
-# This will install the package in the folder C:/Rpackages
-devtools::dev_mode(path="C:/Rpackages")
+```r
+install.packages(path/to/ospsuite.reportingengine.tar.gz, repos = NULL, INSTALL_opts = "--install-tests")
 ```
