-If you are not administrator of you machine or if you need to play with some
-specific version of |cubicweb| you can use virtualenv_ a tool to create
-isolated Python environments.
-
-- instances are stored in :file:`<VIRTUAL_ENV>/etc/cubicweb.d`
-- temporary files (such as pid file) in :file:`<VIRTUAL_ENV>/var/run/cubicweb`
+When installed within a virtualenv, CubicWeb will look for instances data as in
+user mode by default, that is in $HOME/etc/cubicweb.d. However the
+CW_INSTANCES_DIR environment variable should be preferably used.
