 3. Installation:
-	Use the provided makefile to install the Serial Data Recorder program on a Raspberry PI microcomputer. (See the code snippet below)
+    - The atgmlogger utility is now packaged as a Python Wheel and can be installed via pip:
+    ```commandline
+    sudo pip3 install atgmlogger-0.3.1-py3-none-any.whl
+    ```	
+    This method will create a commandline script in /usr/bin/atgmlogger, which can be invoked to run the logger.

-tar -xzf serial_logger-1.0.tar.gz 
-cd serial_logger
-sudo make install
-
-sudo systemctl status SerialLogger
-  ```

-Automated Installation with (GNU) Make:
----------------------------------------
-Execute the following in the package directory:
-```
-make install
-systemctl start SerialLogger
-```

-#####Issues:
-
-- Depending on the version of Raspberry Pi, the serial port name (symlink) may vary between /dev/ttyS0 and /dev/ttyAMA0
-  - Raspberry Pi Zero - /dev/ttyAMA0
-  - Raspberry Pi Zero W (Wireless) - /dev/ttyS0
