+## Development
+
+To install versions of the package under active development, you need to have Rust and `maturin` installed, e.g. with:
+
+```
+rustup update stable
+pip install maturin
+```
+
+clone the repo and navigate into it:
+
+```
+git clone https://github.com/geoarrow/geoarrow-rs
+cd geoarrow-rs
+```
+
+From there navigate to the `python/core` (or other package) directory and develop with `maturin` (add the `--release` flag to the final command to build in release mode):
+
+```
+cd python/core  
+virtualenv env  
+source ./env/bin/activate  
+pip install -U maturin  
+maturin develop
+```
+
+You can also install packages locally with `pip`:
+
+```
+pip install .
+```
