+You can use the "install" target of "make" (which calls the `kselftest_install.sh`
+tool) to install selftests in the default location (`tools/testing/selftests/kselftest_install`),
+or in a user specified location via the `INSTALL_PATH` "make" variable.
 
 To install selftests in default location::
 
-   $ cd tools/testing/selftests
-   $ ./kselftest_install.sh
