+Qadence is available on [PyPI](https://pypi.org/project/qadence/) and can be installed using `pip` as follows:
 
 ```bash
 pip install qadence

-The default backend for Qadence is [PyQTorch](https://github.com/pasqal-io/pyqtorch), a differentiable state vector simulator for digital-analog simulation. It is possible to install additional backends and the circuit visualization library using the following extras:
+The default, pre-installed backend for Qadence is [PyQTorch](https://github.com/pasqal-io/pyqtorch), a differentiable state vector simulator for digital-analog simulation. It is possible to install additional backends and the circuit visualization library using the following extras:
 
-* `braket`: the [Braket](https://github.com/amazon-braket/amazon-braket-sdk-python) backend.
-* `pulser`: the [Pulser](https://github.com/pasqal-io/Pulser) backend for composing, simulating and executing pulse sequences for neutral-atom quantum devices.
-* `visualization`: to display diagrammatically quantum circuits.

+* `braket`: The [Braket](https://github.com/amazon-braket/amazon-braket-sdk-python) backend, an open source library that provides a framework for interacting with quantum computing hardware devices through Amazon Braket.
+* `visualization`: A visualization library to display quantum circuit diagrams.
 
-To just get qadence with the `pyqtorch` backend, simply run:
+To install individual extras, use the following syntax (**IMPORTANT** Make sure to use quotes):
 
 ```bash
-pip install qadence
+pip install "qadence[braket,pulser,visualization]"
