+## Installing our stubs
+
+Whilst these stubs come bundled with Pylance, we recognize it can be beneficial to install them
+so that type-checkers such as [Pyright](https://github.com/microsoft/pyright) and [mypy](https://github.com/python/mypy) pick up on them.  
+The stubs are not currently published on PyPI, but you can install them all at once with:
+
+```shell
+pip install git+https://github.com/microsoft/python-type-stubs.git
