+You can install `@ui5/webcomponents-react` along with the required peer-dependencies based on the components you plan to use. **In most cases, the recommended installation is the most maintainable option.**
+
+### Recommended Installation
+
+Install `@ui5/webcomponents-react` along with the `@ui5/webcomponents` and `@ui5/webcomponents-fiori` peer-dependencies as dependencies in your project:
 
 ```sh
 npm install @ui5/webcomponents-react @ui5/webcomponents @ui5/webcomponents-fiori
 ```
 
+**Note:** If you import anything from another `@ui5/webcomponents-xyz` package, we recommend installing it as a dependency as well, even if it’s already included through another package.
+
+### Minimal Installation
+
+Since version `v2.14.0` of `@ui5/webcomponents-react`, `@ui5/webcomponents-fiori` is an optional peer-dependency. You will still need to install it if:
+
+- You want to use any [component](https://sap.github.io/ui5-webcomponents/components/fiori/) from the `@ui5/webcomponents-fiori` package.
+- You want to use the [VariantManagement](https://sap.github.io/ui5-webcomponents-react/v2/?path=/docs/inputs-variantmanagement--docs) component.
+- You import anything from the `@ui5/webcomponents-fiori` package.
+
+**Note:** Most popular bundlers enable tree-shaking for production builds, so there’s no difference in the final bundle size between the recommended and minimal installations.
