+published from the corresponding backport branch.

+Installation
+============
+
+Runtime Requirements
+--------------------
+
+``cuda.pathfinder`` is a pure-Python package with no runtime dependencies:
+
+* Linux (x86-64, arm64) and Windows (x86-64)
+* Python 3.10 - 3.14
+
+Installing from PyPI
+--------------------
+
+.. code-block:: console
+
+   $ pip install -U cuda-pathfinder
+
+Installing from Conda (conda-forge)
+-----------------------------------
+
+.. code-block:: console
+
+   $ conda install -c conda-forge cuda-pathfinder
+
+Development environment
+-----------------------
+
+The sections above cover end-user installation. The section below focuses on
+a repeatable *development* workflow (editable installs and running tests).
+
+Installing the latest nightly (top-of-tree builds)
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+These are useful for users looking to test new features or bug fixes prior to
+their inclusion in a release.
+
+CI publishes the wheel as a GitHub Actions artifact on every push to ``main``.
+Because ``cuda.pathfinder`` is pure Python, a single wheel covers every
+supported Python version and platform. To obtain the most recent build, use
+the following commands:
+
+.. code-block:: console
+
+   $ # Find the latest successful CI run on main:
+   $ RUN_ID=$(gh run list -R NVIDIA/cuda-python -w ci.yml -b main -s success -L1 --json databaseId -q '.[0].databaseId')
+
+   $ # Download the wheel:
+   $ gh run download "$RUN_ID" -R NVIDIA/cuda-python -p "cuda-pathfinder-wheel"
+
+   $ # Install the downloaded wheel:
+   $ pip install cuda-pathfinder-wheel/*.whl
+
+Installing from Source
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+.. code-block:: console
+
+   $ git clone https://github.com/NVIDIA/cuda-python
+   $ cd cuda-python/cuda_pathfinder
+   $ pip install .
+
+For an editable install (e.g. when developing ``cuda.pathfinder`` itself):
+
+.. code-block:: console
+
+   $ pip install -v -e .
