+4. Now we need to build *safpy*, which creates the module. 
+Running `pip install -e .` (with `.` in the SAFpy folder) builds it automatically and installs any potentially missing Python dependencies.
+6. (Optional) Test if everything works, run `pytest -vvv` in the SAFpy folder.

+You can also build SAFpy manually, e.g., for debugging, with 
+`python safpy_build.py`.
 
 By default, it assumes SAF in a subdirectory, which is obtained by `git submodule update --init --recursive `. 
 In case you want to use a different location, you can simply adapt the variable `saf_path` in `safpy_build.py` if needed.
