 ## Installing EMANE
 > **NOTE:** installng emane for the virtual environment is known to work for 1.21+
-> **NOTE:** automated install currently targets 1.25
 
-There is an invoke task to help with installing EMANE, which attempts to
-build EMANE from source, but has issue on systems with older protobuf-compilers.
+The recommended way to install EMANE is using prebuilt packages, otherwise
+you can follow their instructions for installing from source. Installation
+information can be found [here](https://github.com/adjacentlink/emane/wiki/Install).
 
+There is an invoke task to help install the EMANE bindings into the CORE virtual
+environment, when needed.
 ```shell
 cd <CORE_REPO>
-
-# install to virtual environment
 inv install-emane
-
-# install locally to system python3
-inv install-emane -l
-```
-
-Alternatively EMANE can be installed from deb or RPM packages or from source. See the
-[EMANE GitHub](https://github.com/adjacentlink/emane) for full details.
-With the caveat that the python bindings need to be installed into CORE's
-virtualenv, unless installed locally.
-
-### Installing EMANE Python Bindings for Virtual Environment
-
-If you need to just install the EMANE python bindings to the CORE virtual
-environment, since you are installing EMANE itself from pre-built packages.
-You can run the following
-
-Leveraging the following wiki:
-[build EMANE](https://github.com/adjacentlink/emane/wiki/Build)
-
-The following would install the EMANE python bindings after being
-successfully built.
-```shell
-# clone and build emane python bindings
-git clone https://github.com/adjacentlink/emane.git
-cd emane
-./autogen.sh
-PYTHON=python3 ./configure --prefix=/usr
-cd src/python
-make
-
-# install to core virtual environment
-cd <CORE_REPO>/daemon
-poetry run pip install <EMANE_REPO>/src/python
