-
-   uv pip install -r doc/requirements.txt

-To create the HTML pages, use::

-   uv run -m sphinx doc _build

 The generated files will be available in the directory ``_build/``.

-   uv run -m sphinx doc _build -b latex
 
-Afterwards go to the folder ``_build/`` and run LaTeX to create the
-PDF file. If you don’t know how to create a PDF file from the LaTeX output, you
-should have a look at Latexmk_ (see also this `Latexmk tutorial`_).
+Running the Tests

 First, create a new directory wherever you want, change into it, then run::

-This will print instructions for how to `activate the environment`__.
-You should do that now!
+This will create a file named ``pyproject.toml`` for you.

-The Sound Field Synthesis Toolbox can be installed with::
-
-    uv pip install sfs
+    uv add sfs
 
 This will automatically install the NumPy_ and SciPy_ libraries as well,
 which are needed by the SFS Toolbox.
+It will also create a file named ``uv.lock``, which tracks the exact versions
+of all installed packages.
 
 If you want to use the provided functions for plotting sound fields, you'll need
 Matplotlib_::
 
-    uv pip install matplotlib
+    uv add matplotlib
 
 However, since all results are provided as plain NumPy_ arrays, you should also
 be able to use any other plotting library of your choice to visualize the sound
 fields.
 
-The steps above need to be executed only once.
-Whenever you come back to this directory at a later time,
-you just need to activate the environment again.
+You might also want to install some other Python-related tools,
+e.g. JupyterLab_::
+
+    uv add jupyterlab
+
+.. _JupyterLab: https://jupyter.org/
+
+You get the gist: whatever you need, just ``uv add ...`` it!
+
+Once everything is installed, you can start working with the tool of your choice
+by simply prefixing it with ``uv run``, for example::
+
+    uv run jupyter lab
+
+Similarly, you can launch any other tool, like a text editor, an IDE etc.
+
+You can also simply create a Python file, let's say ``my_script.py``:
+
+.. code:: python
+
+    import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
+    import numpy as np
+    import sfs
+
+    npw = sfs.util.direction_vector(np.radians(-45))
+    f = 300  # Hz
+    omega = 2 * np.pi * f
+
+    grid = sfs.util.xyz_grid([-2, 2], [-2, 2], 0, spacing=0.02)
+    array = sfs.array.circular(N=32, R=1.5)
+
+    d, selection, secondary_source = sfs.fd.wfs.plane_25d(
+        omega, array.x, array.n, npw)
+
+    p = sfs.fd.synthesize(d, selection, array, secondary_source, grid=grid)
+    sfs.plot2d.amplitude(p, grid)
+    sfs.plot2d.loudspeakers(array.x, array.n, selection * array.a, size=0.15)
+
+    plt.show()
+
+You can then run this script (assuming you installed ``matplotlib`` before) with::
+
+    uv run my_script.py
