-## Quick Start
-
-### Installation
-
-This installs the latest version directly from the GitHub repository:
+## Install
 
 ```shell
-git clone https://github.com/unshackle-dl/unshackle.git
-cd unshackle
-uv sync
-uv run unshackle --help
-```
-
-### Install unshackle as a global (per-user) tool
-
-```bash
 uv tool install git+https://github.com/unshackle-dl/unshackle.git
-# Then run:
-uvx unshackle --help   # or just `unshackle` once PATH updated
+unshackle --help
 ```
 
-> [!NOTE]
-> After installation, you may need to add the installation path to your PATH environment variable if prompted.
+> [!TIP]
+> Prefer `uv run unshackle ...` inside a clone to keep the virtual environment active.
 
-> **Recommended:** Use `uv run unshackle` instead of direct command execution to ensure proper virtual environment activation.
