+You can install the latest published version of the tool from PyPI using pip (preferably in a virtual environment):

+You can also install the latest development version by cloning this repository and running the following command in the root directory:
 ```bash

+### Publishing the Tool
+
+To publish a new version of the tool on PyPI, update the version number in `pyproject.toml`, and then run:
+```bash
+python -m pip install --upgrade build
+python -m pip install --upgrade twine
+rm -rf dist
+python -m build
+python -m twine upload dist/*

 ## Debugging Regressions
 
 If your change is causing regressions on one of the benchmarks, a useful way to debug and find the difference is to run the tool in verbose mode and compare the intermediate tables. For example, if your branch has regressions on Demo 1:
 ```bash
 # First, on the `main` branch:
-times-excel-reader benchmarks/xlsx/DemoS_001 --output_dir benchmarks/out/DemoS_001-all --ground_truth_dir benchmarks/csv/DemoS_001-all --verbose > before 2>&1
+xl2times benchmarks/xlsx/DemoS_001 --output_dir benchmarks/out/DemoS_001-all --ground_truth_dir benchmarks/csv/DemoS_001-all --verbose > before 2>&1
 # Then, on your branch:
 git checkout my-branch-name
-times-excel-reader benchmarks/xlsx/DemoS_001 --output_dir benchmarks/out/DemoS_001-all --ground_truth_dir benchmarks/csv/DemoS_001-all --verbose > after 2>&1
+xl2times benchmarks/xlsx/DemoS_001 --output_dir benchmarks/out/DemoS_001-all --ground_truth_dir benchmarks/csv/DemoS_001-all --verbose > after 2>&1
