+Running tests
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+PyMuPDF has a set of ``pytest`` scripts within the ``tests/`` directory.
+
+Run tests with::
+
+    pip install pytest fontTools
+    pytest PyMuPDF/tests
+
+If PyMuPDF has been built with a non-default build of MuPDF (using
+environmental variable ``PYMUPDF_SETUP_MUPDF_BUILD``), it is possible that
+``tests/test_textbox.py:test_textbox3()`` will fail, because it relies on MuPDF
+having been built with PyMuPDF's customized configuration, ``fitz/_config.h``.
+
+One can skip this particular test by adding ``-k 'not test_textbox3'`` to the
+``pytest`` command line.

 If you do not intend to use this feature, skip this step. Otherwise, it is required for both installation paths: **from wheels and from sources.**
