     $ pip install bchlib
 
 ## Installing from source:
-  Make sure you have python-dev setup.  For Windows, this means you need [Visual Studio 2015](https://stackoverflow.com/a/44290942/6844002).
+  On Linux, you will need python-dev or equivalent package.  Windows, you need Microsoft Visual C++.  I've tested this manually using [Visual Studio 2015](https://stackoverflow.com/a/44290942/6844002).
 
     $ pip install .
 
 ## Usage Example
 
-  See [the tests directory](tests) for usage examles.
+  See Python's built-in help `import bchlib; help(bchlib)` and the module's [tests](tests) for usage examples.
