+To install the patched `triton` separately, for use in other applications (for example, Stable Diffusion WebUIs):
 
+Install application that depends on `triton`:
 ```sh
 # Install triton
+pip3 install --extra-index-url https://sasha0552.github.io/vllm-ci/ <PACKAGE NAME>
+```
+
+Install `triton` before installing application:
+```
+# Install triton
 pip3 install --extra-index-url https://sasha0552.github.io/vllm-ci/ triton
 ```
 
-Note that you may need to install triton with `--force-reinstall` if triton has already been installed.
+If application is already installed:
+```
+pip3 install --extra-index-url https://sasha0552.github.io/vllm-ci/ --force-reinstall triton
