# Installation Instructions

If you want to experiment with xlrd, the easiest way to install it is to do the following in a virtualenv:

    pip install xlrd

If your package uses setuptools and you decide to use xlrd, then you should add it as a requirement by adding an `install_requires` parameter in your call to `setup` as follows:

    setup(
        # other stuff here
        install_requires=['xlrd'],
        )
