-This briefly describes installation with JupyterLab; for the Jupyter notebook
-or for nteract see [`displaying-charts`](https://altair-viz.github.io/user_guide/display.html#displaying-charts).

-Both Altair and JupyterLab can be installed with `pip`:
-
-```
-$ pip install altair jupyterlab
-```
-
-or with conda:
-
-```
-conda install altair jupyterlab --channel conda-forge
-```
-
-For JupyterLab version 0.32 or newer, nothing else needs to be done to use
-the main Altair API. For JupyterLab version 0.31, you'll additionally need to
-run the following:
-
-```
-jupyter labextension install @jupyterlab/vega3-extension
-```
-
-Once altair and JupyterLab are installed, launch JupyterLab by running:
-
-```
-jupyter lab
-```
-
-This should launch a web browser window. The first time JupyterLab is launched,
-you will see a *Launcher* window: Under the "Notebook" section, click "Python 3"
-to launch a new notebook. Then you should be able to execute Altair code and
-see the rendered charts.
+Altair can be installed with either ``pip`` or with ``conda``.
