 ### Installing dependencies
 To install dependencies required for running local models, run:
-```
+```sh
 pip install 'pymemgpt[local]'
 ```
 
+If you installed from source (`git clone` then `pip install -e .`), do:
+```sh
+pip install -e '.[local]'
+```
+
+If you installed from source using Poetry, do:
+```sh
+poetry install -E local
+```

 ### Quick overview
 
 1. Put your own LLM behind a web server API (e.g. [oobabooga web UI](https://github.com/oobabooga/text-generation-webui#starting-the-web-ui))

 ### Which model should I use?

 If you are experimenting with MemGPT and local LLMs for the first time, we recommend you try the Dolphin Mistral finetune (e.g. [ehartford/dolphin-2.2.1-mistral-7b](https://huggingface.co/ehartford/dolphin-2.2.1-mistral-7b) or a quantized variant such as [dolphin-2.2.1-mistral-7b.Q6_K.gguf](https://huggingface.co/TheBloke/dolphin-2.2.1-mistral-7B-GGUF)), and use the default `airoboros` wrapper.
 
 Generating MemGPT-compatible outputs is a harder task for an LLM than regular text output. For this reason **we strongly advise users to NOT use models below Q5 quantization** - as the model gets worse, the number of errors you will encounter while using MemGPT will dramatically increase (MemGPT will not send messages properly, edit memory properly, etc.).
