-The CircuitPython compatibility layers described above are intended for devices which
-are running Micropython. Given the top level packages should be provided by any standard
-CircuitPython image, you shouldn't be trying to put those packages on any board
-with CircuitPython already installed.
+The Micropython compatibility layers described above are intended to provide a CircuitPython-like API for devices which
+are running CPython or Micropython. Since corresponding packages should be built-in to any standard
+CircuitPython image, they have no value on a device already running CircuitPython and would likely conflict in unhappy ways.

 
 

-However, the test suites under testing.implementation.all are by design
-intended to run on either CircuitPython or the Micropython+compatibility layer, so that
-conformance can be achieved.
+The test suites in the test/src folder under **testing.universal** are by design
+intended to run on *either* CircuitPython *or* Micropython+compatibility layer to prove conformance.

 
 

-Similarly the test suites under testing.implementation.micropython should only be run
-on Micropython and testing.implementation.circuitpython should only be run on CircuitPython
+Installing from PyPI
+=====================

 
 

+On supported GNU/Linux systems like the Raspberry Pi, you can install the driver locally `from
+PyPI <https://pypi.org/project/Adafruit-Blinka/>`_. To install for current user:
+
+.. code-block:: shell
+
+    pip3 install Adafruit-Blinka
+
+To install system-wide (this may be required in some cases):
+
+.. code-block:: shell
+
+    sudo pip3 install Adafruit-Blinka
+
+To install in a virtual environment in your current project:
+
+.. code-block:: shell
+
+    mkdir project-name && cd project-name
+    python3 -m venv .env
+    source .env/bin/activate
+    pip3 install Adafruit-Blinka
