 ### PyPI
 
 For extended development, you can set up a development environment using PyPI.
 
 ```bash
-$ python3 -m venv venv
-$ source venv/bin/activate
-(venv)$ pip install -e .[dev]
+$ python3 -m venv .venv
+$ source .venv/bin/activate
+(venv)$ pip install -e . --group dev
 (venv)$ python -m ipykernel install --user --name hist
 ```
 
 You should have pip 10 or later.
 
-### Conda
-
-You can also set up a development environment using Conda. With conda, you can search some channels for development.
-
-```bash
-$ conda env create -f dev-environment.yml -n hist
-$ conda activate hist
-(hist)$ python -m ipykernel install --name hist
-```
-
 ## Post setup
 
 You should prepare pre-commit, which will help you by checking that commits
