 :snake: Script to execute an **SSH command** using a password from a **KeePass database**.
 
 This project uses the [pykeepass](https://pypi.org/project/pykeepass/) library and the `sshpass` command line utility.
 
 Note that, for this to work, the title of your KeePass database entry should be written in a form that can be used with the `ssh` command, e.g. `user@hostname`.
 
+## Installation
+
+This utility is available as a Python package on **PyPI**:
+
+```bash
+pip3 install sshkp
+```
+
 ## Usage
 
 ```bash
@@ -17,25 +28,20 @@ sshkp user@hostname .print  # just prints the SSH password
 
 If you don't set the `KP_PASSWORD` environment variable before calling the script, the password will be asked at runtime.
 
-See `sshkp --help` for more information.
-
-It is advised to install the script in a directory under your `$PATH` (see [below](#installation)).
+:information_source: For more details on how to use this command, you can also refer to the help message (`sshkp --help`).
 
-## Installation
+## Development
 
-To install _sshkp_ you need to execute the following commands as root:
+If you want to contribute to this project, the first thing you have to do is to **clone this repository** on your local machine:
 
 ```bash
-apt update && apt install sshpass python3-pip
-pip3 install -r requirements.txt
-
-curl -Lo "/usr/local/bin/sshkp" \
-    https://github.com/dmotte/sshkp/releases/latest/download/sshkp
-chmod +x "/usr/local/bin/sshkp"
+git clone https://github.com/dmotte/sshkp.git
 ```
 
-:information_source: For **user installation** (no root needed, will only work for current user) we recommend `~/.local/bin` instead of `/usr/local/bin`. If it's not in your `$PATH`, you can add the following to your `.bashrc` or `.zshrc`:
+Then you can install the package in **editable** mode:
 
 ```bash
-export PATH="~/.local/bin:$PATH"
+pip3 install -e . --user
 ```
+
+This will just link the package to the original location, basically meaning any changes to the original package would reflect directly in your environment ([source](https://stackoverflow.com/a/35064498)).
