 This library assists developers with graphics programming.
 
 ## Installation
+`graphik` has not been published to PyPI yet (see [RELEASING.md](RELEASING.md)
+for the release process), so `pip install graphik` will not resolve until the
+first release is tagged. Until then, install directly from this repository:
+```bash
+pip install git+https://github.com/Stephenson-Software/graphik.git
+```
+Once a release is published, it will be installable with:
 ```bash
 pip install graphik
 ```
