 If that's not the case, then we recommend installing the prebuilt binaries from
 PyPI.
 
-1. Make sure you have CMake and a C++17 compiler installed.
-
-1. Download the [latest binary release](https://github.com/deepmind/mujoco/releases)
-   from GitHub. On macOS, the download corresponds to a DMG file from which you
-   can drag `MuJoCo.app` into your `/Applications` folder.
-
-1. Clone the entire `mujoco` repository from GitHub and `cd` into the python
-   directory.
-
-   ```bash
-   git clone https://github.com/deepmind/mujoco.git
-   cd mujoco/python
-   ```
-
-1. Create a virtual environment:
-
-   ```bash
-   python3 -m venv /tmp/mujoco
-   source /tmp/mujoco/bin/activate
-   ```
-
-1. Generate a [source distribution](https://packaging.python.org/en/latest/glossary/#term-Source-Distribution-or-sdist)
-   tarball with the `make_sdist.sh` script.
-
-   ```bash
-   cd python
-   bash make_sdist.sh
-   ```
-
-   The `make_sdist.sh` script generates additional C++ header files that are
-   needed to build the bindings, and also pulls in required files from elsewhere
-   in the repository outside the `python` directory into the sdist. Upon
-   completion, the script will create a `dist` directory with a
-   `mujoco-x.y.z.tar.gz` file (where `x.y.z` is the version number).
-
-1. Use the generated source distribution to build and install the bindings.
-   You'll need to specify the path to the MuJoCo library you downloaded earlier
-   in the `MUJOCO_PATH` environment variable.
-
-   **Note**: For macOS, this can be the path to a directory that contains the
-   `mujoco.framework`. In particular, you can set
-   `MUJOCO_PATH=/Applications/MuJoCo.app` if you installed MuJoCo as suggested
-   in step 1.
-
-   ```bash
-   cd dist
-   MUJOCO_PATH=/PATH/TO/MUJOCO pip install mujoco-x.y.z.tar.gz
-   ```
-
-The Python bindings should now be installed! To check that they've been
-successfully installed, `cd` outside of the `mujoco` directory and run
-`python -c "import mujoco"`.
+If you need to build the Python bindings from source, please consult
+[the documentation](https://mujoco.readthedocs.io/en/latest/python.html#building-from-source).
