 ## Setup development environment
 
-1. install `poetry` (only once per machine):\
-   `curl -sSL https://install.python-poetry.org | python3 -`\
-   or [checkout installation instruction](https://python-poetry.org/docs/#installation) or
-   use [conda forge version](https://anaconda.org/conda-forge/poetry)
-1. (Optional, skip if not sure) Disable automatic environment creation:\
-   `poetry config virtualenvs.create false`
-1. (Optional) Install the optional dependency
-1. install all dependencies in one command (have to be run in thibe project directory):\
-   `poetry install`
-1. install `pre-commit` hooks to git repo:\
+1. Install pre-commit to start to code:\
+   `pip install pre-commit`
+2. Install the pre-commit hooks:\
    `pre-commit install`
-1. you are ready to code!
+3. you are ready to code!
 
 _Note 1:_\
 Your first commit will trigger `pre-commit` to download [Code Quality tools](#tools-used).
 That's OK and it is intended behavior. This will be done once per machine automatically.
 
-_Note 2:_\
-By default `poetry` creates separate Python virtual environment for every project ([more details in documentation](https://python-poetry.org/docs/managing-environments/)).
-If you use `conda` or any other way to manage different environments by hand - you need to
-disable `poetry` environment creation. Also in this case be careful with version of Python
-in your environment - it has to satisfy requirements stated in `pyproject.toml`. In case you
-disable `poetry` you are in charge of this.

+In case you want to install the optional deep learning dependencies (i.e. `pip install .[deeplearning]`),
 
-_Note 3 (deep learning):_\
-In case you want to install the optional deep learning dependencies (i.e. `poetry install --with deeplearning`),
-you will need to do the following additional steps if you want `tensorflow` to detect your
-GPU:
-
-```bash
-# Instructions for tensorflow==2.12
-conda install -c conda-forge cudatoolkit=11.8.0
-mkdir -p $CONDA_PREFIX/etc/conda/activate.d
-echo 'CUDNN_PATH=$(dirname $(python -c "import nvidia.cudnn;print(nvidia.cudnn.__file__)"))' >> $CONDA_PREFIX/etc/conda/activate.d/env_vars.sh
-echo 'export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$LD_LIBRARY_PATH:$CONDA_PREFIX/lib/:$CUDNN_PATH/lib' >> $CONDA_PREFIX/etc/conda/activate.d/env_vars.sh
-source $CONDA_PREFIX/etc/conda/activate.d/env_vars.sh
-# Verify install:
-python3 -c "import tensorflow as tf; print(tf.config.list_physical_devices('GPU'))"
-```
-
-Then, at every use, re-run the command
-`source $CONDA_PREFIX/etc/conda/activate.d/env_vars.sh` (you can simply add this line to
-your `.bashrc`). For more details, please refer to
-[the official documentation](https://www.tensorflow.org/install/pip).
 
 ### Tools used

-enables one to have a reproducible environment on all popular OS (Linux, MacOS and
