 ## Installation ⚙️
 
-### 1. Get the latest stable version
+PKGMGR can be installed using `make`.
+The setup mode defines **which runtime layers are prepared**.
 
-For a stable setup, use the **latest tagged release** (the tag pointed to by
-`latest`):
+---
+
+### Setup modes
+
+| Command             | Prepares                | Use case              |
+| ------------------- | ----------------------- | --------------------- |
+| **make setup**      | Python venv **and** Nix | Full development & CI |
+| **make setup-venv** | Python venv only        | Local user setup      |
+
+---
+
+### Install & setup
 
 ```bash
 git clone https://github.com/kevinveenbirkenbach/package-manager.git
 cd package-manager
-
-# Optional but recommended: checkout the latest stable tag
-git fetch --tags
-git checkout "$(git describe --tags --abbrev=0)"
-```
-
-### 2. Install via Make
-
-The project ships with a Makefile that encapsulates the typical installation
-flow. On most systems you only need:
-
-```bash
-# Ensure make, Python and pip are installed via your distro package manager
-# (e.g. pacman -S make python python-pip, apt install make python3-pip, ...)
-
 make install
 ```
 
-This will:
-
-* create or reuse a Python virtual environment,
-* install PKGMGR (and its Python dependencies) into that environment,
-* expose the `pkgmgr` executable on your PATH (usually via `~/.local/bin`),
-* prepare Nix-based integration where available so PKGMGR can build and manage
-  packages distribution-independently.
-
-For development use, you can also run:
+#### Full setup (venv + Nix)
 
 ```bash
 make setup
 ```
 
-which prepares the environment and leaves you with a fully wired development
-workspace (including Nix, tests and scripts).
+Use this for CI, servers, containers and full development workflows.
+
+#### Venv-only setup
+
+```bash
+make setup-venv
+source ~/.venvs/pkgmgr/bin/activate
+```
+
+Use this if you want PKGMGR isolated without Nix integration.
+
+---
+
+## Run without installation (Nix)
+
+Run PKGMGR directly via Nix Flakes.
+
+```bash
+nix run github:kevinveenbirkenbach/package-manager#pkgmgr -- --help
+```
+
+Example:
+
+```bash
+nix run github:kevinveenbirkenbach/package-manager#pkgmgr -- version pkgmgr
+```
+
+Notes:
+
+* full flake URL required
+* `--` separates Nix and PKGMGR arguments
+* can be used alongside any setup mode
