 Python 3.11–3.14 are supported; 3.12 tends to be the smoothest for local setup (pre-built wheels are available across the dependency set). For alternative `just` installation paths, macOS-specific installation notes, and troubleshooting, see [Installation](docs/getting_started/installation.md).
 
+## Reference EVM CLI
+
+`ethereum-spec-evm` — a `t8n` transition tool, `b11r` block builder, and state-test runner that execute the spec directly — is provided by the `ethereum-execution-testing` workspace package rather than by `ethereum-execution`. Within a checkout it is available as `uv run ethereum-spec-evm`; for standalone installation (e.g. in client CI or fuzzing setups), see [packages/testing/README.md](packages/testing/README.md).

+# The `ethereum-execution-testing` Package
+
+Test generation and execution framework for the [Ethereum Execution Layer Specifications (EELS)](https://github.com/ethereum/execution-specs), derived from [ethereum/execution-spec-tests](https://github.com/ethereum/execution-spec-tests).
+
+The package provides:
+
+- The `execution_testing` library: base types, fork definitions, and test-spec primitives used to write consensus test cases.
+- The pytest-based commands that generate and run test fixtures against execution clients: `fill`, `execute`, `consume`, and friends.
+- `ethereum-spec-evm` — the reference EVM CLI that executes the spec directly: a `t8n` transition tool (also available as a daemon), a `b11r` block builder, and a state-test runner.
+
+## Installing `ethereum-spec-evm` standalone
+
+This package depends on `ethereum-execution` (the spec itself), and the two are developed in lockstep: the spec releases published on PyPI only carry forks that are live on mainnet and generally cannot satisfy this package's dependency pins. Install both packages from the same clone.
+
+With `uv` (resolves the sibling spec package from the checkout automatically):
+
+```console
+git clone https://github.com/ethereum/execution-specs
+uv tool install ./execution-specs/packages/testing
+```
+
+With `pip`, in a virtual environment:
+
+```console
+pip install ./execution-specs ./execution-specs/packages/testing
+```
+
+With `pipx`:
+
+```console
+pipx install ./execution-specs
+pipx inject --include-apps ethereum-execution ./execution-specs/packages/testing
+```
