 ## Installation
 (maybe to be replaced by an automation of some sort, using a virtual environment might be better, see [server version](#wikstraktor-server))
-* [```pip install pywikibot```](https://pypi.org/project/pywikibot/)
-* [```pip install wikitextparser```](https://pypi.org/project/wikitextparser/)
-* [```pip install gitpython```](https://gitpython.readthedocs.io/en/stable/)
-* [```pip install sqlite3```](https://docs.python.org/3/library/sqlite3.html) Might be provided with python
-* [```pip install importlib```](https://pypi.org/project/importlib/)  
-_Optional (for python 2.*, not tested)_
-* run ``./setup.py`` (used to store wikstraktor version in wiktionary extracts)

+### Basic version
+```bash
+python3 -m venv wikstraktorenv #optional for basic version
+. wikstraktorenv/bin/activate #activate environment (optional)
+pip install -r requirements.txt
+run ./setup.py

 ### Wikstraktor Server
 If you want wikstraktor as a server, you need to install [flask](https://flask.palletsprojects.com/en/2.0.x/installation/) and [flask-cors](https://flask-cors.readthedocs.io/en/latest/) — to allow other domains to query —, and best practice is to do so in a [virtual environment](https://docs.python.org/3/library/venv.html#module-venv).
