     The library interface is currently in an experimental stage. There might
     be some smaller adjustments to the public interface until the next version.
 
-    The library also misses a proper installation routine, so some manipulation
-    of the PYTHONPATH is required. At the moment, use is only recommended for
-    developers with some experience in Python.

 ## Installation
 
 To use the Nominatim library, you need access to a local Nominatim database.
 Follow the [installation](../admin/Installation.md) and
 [import](../admin/Import.md) instructions to set up your database.
 
-It is not yet possible to install it in the usual way via pip or inside a
-virtualenv. To get access to the library you need to set an appropriate
-`PYTHONPATH`. With the default installation, the python library can be found
-under `/usr/local/share/nominatim/lib-python`. If you have installed
-Nominatim under a different prefix, adapt the `/usr/local/` part accordingly.
-You can also point the `PYTHONPATH` to the Nominatim source code.
+The Nominatim frontend library is contained in the Python package `nominatim-api`.
+To install the package from the source tree directly, run:
+
+    pip install packaging/nominatim-api
+
+Usually you would want to run this in a virtual environment.
