 All remote operations (connect, disconnect, client read/write, server indicate, l2cap recv/send, pair) are awaitable and support timeouts.
 
+Installation
+------------
+
+You can install any combination of the following packages.
+- `aioble-central` -- Central (and Observer) role functionality including
+  scanning and connecting.
+- `aioble-client` -- GATT client, typically used by central role devices but
+  can also be used on peripherals.
+- `aioble-l2cap` -- L2CAP Connection-oriented-channels support.
+- `aioble-peripheral` -- Peripheral (and Broadcaster) role functionality
+  including advertising.
+- `aioble-security` -- Pairing and bonding support.
+- `aioble-server` -- GATT server, typically used by peripheral role devices
+  but can also be used on centrals.
+
+Alternatively, install the `aioble` package, which will install everything.
