+#### Alternative A
 
+You can now install your local version of *growR* by issuing
+the following at the prompt of an `R` session:
+```
+install.packages("/full/path/to/growR", repos = NULL)
+```
+You should replace `"/full/path/to/"` with the actual path to the `growR`

+if you're on Windows.
+
+`growR` should now be installed and available in `R` through `library(growR)`.   
 If you make changes to the source files in the `growR` directory, just 
 uninstall the current version (issue `remove.packages("growR")` in `R`) 
-and repeat step 2 above.
+and repeat this step.
+
+#### Alternative B
 
+If you make frequent changes to the code, it might be
+unpractical to uninstall and reinstall the changed version each time. In that
+case, `devtools` comes in very handy (if needed, install it with
+`install.packages("devtools")`). It allows you to load a package into an active
+`R` session without the need of it being properly installed. The following has
+practically the equivalent result as the method described in 
+[alternative A](#alternative-a):
+```
+library(devtools)
+devtools::load_all("/full/path/to/growR")
+```
+The notes about `"/full/path/to"` as in [Alternative A](#alternative-a) apply here as well.
