 ## ⚙️ Installation
 
-**Important:** We strongly recommend using a virtual environment to ensure the `reflex` command is available in your PATH.
-
-## 🥳 Create your first app
-
-### 1. Create the project directory
-
-Replace `my_app_name` with your project name:
-
-```bash
-mkdir my_app_name
-cd my_app_name
-```
-
-### 2. Install uv
-
 Reflex recommends [uv](https://docs.astral.sh/uv/) for managing your project environment and dependencies.
-See the [uv installation docs](https://docs.astral.sh/uv/getting-started/installation/) for your platform.
-
-```bash
-# macOS/Linux
-curl -LsSf https://astral.sh/uv/install.sh | sh
-
-# Windows (PowerShell)
-powershell -ExecutionPolicy ByPass -c "irm https://astral.sh/uv/install.ps1 | iex"
-```
-
-### 3. Initialize the Python project
-
-```bash
-uv init
-```
-
-### 4. Add Reflex
 
-Reflex requires Python 3.10+:
+Open a terminal and run (requires Python 3.10+):
 
 ```bash
-uv add reflex
+$ uv add reflex
+$ uv run reflex init
+$ uv run reflex run
 ```
 
-### 5. Initialize the project
-
-This command initializes a template app in your new directory:
-
-```bash
-uv run reflex init
-```
-
-### 6. Run the app
-
-You can run this app in development mode:
-
-```bash
-uv run reflex run
-```
-
-You should see your app running at http://localhost:3000.
-
-Now you can modify the source code in `my_app_name/my_app_name.py`. Reflex has fast refreshes so you can see your changes instantly when you save your code.
-
-### Troubleshooting
-
-If the `reflex` command is not on your PATH, run it through uv instead: `uv run reflex init` and `uv run reflex run`
+Your app is now running at http://localhost:3000.
