 ## Installation
 
- 1. Fetch the ncmaps repo from github, alternatively copy the ncmaps file;
- 2. Run ncmaps in the terminal (requires Python3);
+There are two ways for getting ncview to use the scientific colormaps:
+
+*Option 1:* 
+ 1. Fetch the ncmaps repo from github;
+ 2. Define (export) a shell environment variable to the sub-directory `ncmaps/`: `export NCVIEWBASE=</path/to/local/ncmaps/copy>/ncmaps/`.
+
+*Option 2:*
+ 1. Fetch the ncmaps repo from github;
+ 2. Run `python3 write_ncmaps` in the terminal;
  3. Define (export) a shell environment variable: `export NCVIEWBASE=${HOME}/.ncmaps`;
+
+The second option is mainly if you want to develop the package and add more colormaps (please consider making a PR).

 ## Command-line parameters
 
-Running `ncmaps` should be enough in most cases, but check `ncmaps -h`.
+Running `write_ncmaps` should be enough in most cases, but check `write_ncmaps -h`.
