 EPIK is a program for rapid alignment-free phylogenetic placement, the successor of [RAPPAS](https://github.com/phylo42/RAPPAS).
 
 ## Installation via Bioconda
-It is advised to install the package in a new environement, because our C++ dependencies are strict and may clash with other packages requiring, for instance, libboost.
-We also recommend to use `mamba, which is more faster in solving environment dependencies.

+It is advised to install the package in a new environment, because our C++ dependencies are strict and may clash with other packages (requiring libboost in particular).
+We also recommend to use `mamba, which is faster in solving environment dependencies.
 ```
 conda create -n epik
 conda activate epik
 conda config --set channel_priority strict

 # note that we install both ipk (database creation) and epik (phylogenetic placement)
 mamba install ipk epik
