 Installation
 ============
 
-Installation from Conda Forge (recommended)
--------------------------------------------
+RIA Hub Toolkit OSS can be installed either as a Conda package or as a standard Python package.
 
-It is recommended to use RIA Toolkit OSS is within a `Radioconda <https://anaconda.org/ryanvolz/radioconda>`_ environment, 
-which provides pre-configured packages and libraries required for common SDR devices. Radioconda installation and setup instructions
-can be found in the project README: `radioconda-installer <https://github.com/radioconda/radioconda-installer>`_.
+We want your experience with RIA Toolkit OSS to be as smooth and frictionless as possible. If you run into any 
+issues during installation, please reach out to our support team: ``support@qoherent.ai``.

+RIA Toolkit OSS can be installed into any Conda environment. However, it is recommended to install within the base environment of 
+`Radioconda <https://github.com/radioconda/radioconda-installer>`_, which includes `GNU Radio <https://www.gnuradio.org/>`_ and several pre-configured libraries for
+common SDR devices. Detailed instructions for installing and setting up Radioconda are available in the project README.
 
-.. note::
+Please follow the steps below to install RIA Toolkit OSS using Conda:
 
-   **(Coming soon)** Install RIA Toolkit OSS from RIA Hub's Conda Package Registry.
+1. Before installing RIA Toolkit OSS into your Conda environment, update the Conda package manager:
 
-Installation from PyPI / RIA Hub
---------------------------------
+   .. code-block:: bash
+      
+      conda update --force conda
 
-You can also install RIA Toolkit OSS in a standard Python virtual environment using Pip. 
-Addition information on Python virtual environments can be found here: `W3Schools: Python Virtual Environment <https://www.w3schools.com/python/python_virtualenv.asp>`_.
+   This ensures that the Conda package manager is fully up-to-date, allowing new or updated packages to be installed into the base environment without conflicts.
 
+2. Add RIA Hub to your Conda channel configuration:
+
+   .. code-block:: bash
+
+      conda config --add channels https://riahub.ai/api/packages/qoherent/conda
+
+3. Activate your Conda environment and install RIA Toolkit OSS. For example, with Radioconda:
+
+   .. code-block:: bash
+
+      conda activate base
+      conda install ria-toolkit-oss
+
+4. After installing RIA Toolkit OSS, verify that the installation was successful by running:
+
+   .. code-block:: bash
+
+      conda list
+
+   If installation was successful, you should see a line item for `ria-toolkit-oss`:
+
+   .. code-block:: bash
+
+      ria-toolkit-oss           <version>                  <build>    https://riahub.ai/api/packages/qoherent/conda

+RIA Toolkit OSS is available as a standard Python package on both RIA Hub
+`here <https://riahub.ai/qoherent/-/packages/pypi/ria-toolkit-oss>`_ and PyPI
+`here <https://pypi.org/project/ria-toolkit-oss/>`_.
+
+These packages can be installed into a standard Python virtual environment using 
+`pip <https://pip.pypa.io/en/stable/>`_. For help getting started with Python virtual
+environments, please refer to the following tutorial:
