 ## Features
 
--  It is based on an open-source environment.
--  It is easy to use.
--  The code allows to find displacement, strain and stress solutions
-   for arbitrary two-dimensional domains discretized into finite
-   elements and subject to point loads.
--  The code is organized in independent modules for pre-processing,
-   assembly and post-processing allowing the user to easily modify it
-   or add features like new elements or analyses pipelines.
--  It was created with academic and research purposes.
--  It has been used to tech the following courses:
-    - Introduction to Solid Mechanics.
-    - Computational Modeling.
-    - Introduction to the Finite Element Methods.
-    - Introduction to Soil Mechanics.
+* **Open-Source Environment**: Entirely written in Python, leveraging popular libraries like NumPy and SciPy.
 
-## Installation
+* **Easy to Use**: Simple text input files; minimal overhead to set up new simulations.
+
+* **2D/3D Elasticity**: Solve displacement, strain, and stress for arbitrary 2D/3D domains using finite elements.
+
+* **Modular Code**: Independent modules for pre-processing, assembly, and post-processing. Extend or modify as needed.
+
+* **Academic & Research**: Ideal for teaching courses such as:
+  - Computational Modeling
+  - Introduction to the Finite Element Methods
+
+  and for rapid prototyping of new FEM elements.
 
-The code is written in Python and it depends on `numpy`, and `scipy` and. It
-has been tested under Windows, Mac, Linux and Android.
+* **Wide Compatibility**: Tested under Windows, macOS, Linux, and even Android (via Termux).
 
-To install *SolidsPy* open a terminal and type:
+## Installation
 
-    pip install solidspy
+SolidsPy runs on Python 3.11+ and depends on numpy and scipy.
 
-To specify through a GUI the folder where the input files are stored you will
-need to install [easygui](http://easygui.readthedocs.org/en/master/).
+Install via PyPI:
+```bash
+pip install solidspy
+```
 
-To easily generate the required SolidsPy text files out of a
-[Gmsh](http://gmsh.info/) model you will need [meshio](https://github.com/nschloe/meshio).
+For a GUI file selector, install:
+```bash
+pip install easygui
+```
 
-These two can be installed with:
+To convert Gmsh models ([gmsh.info](http://gmsh.info/)) to SolidsPy input files, install:
+```bash
+pip install meshio
+```
 
-    pip install easygui
-    pip install meshio
+Install via Conda:
+```bash
+conda install solidspy
+```
