 This documentation was built with beginners in mind, but has the necessary information for more seasoned producers.
 
-To install and use Ed you will be using your terminal. If you need a refresher, I highly recommend "[The Command Line Crash Course](https://www.computervillage.org/articles/CommandLine.pdf)." Working knowledge of HTML and CSS is also taken for granted. If you're new to HTML and CSS, you may want to check out the relevant courses on [codecademy.com](https://www.codecademy.com/learn/web).

-Jekyll does not run very well on Windows machines for now. If you are using Windows, this theme won't work for you, but we hope that you simply deploy our principles, and parts of our stylesheet, on a system like [Hugo](https://gohugo.io/), which does work on Windows.

-## Installing Ed: Easy
+## Using Ed as a Template
 
-The easy way to do this is not necessarily the more robust, and may simply not work on your system. The easy way could also be called the 'lucky' way. It will work if your system is ready for Ed. Two major caveats to keep in mind if you go the easy route: a) You may run into problems later when some Ed components need updating; and, b) You may run into conflicts if you run several Ruby environments for different projects. That said, if you just want to quickly try Ed, and you don't run into problems installing, this is perhaps the best approach.
+You can use Ed on GitHub Pages for free, without a local installation, by editing the project files on github and using the template files. To use Ed this way you must have a Github account of your own. Once logged in, visit the [Github repository for Ed](https://github.com/minicomp/ed), and follow this steps:
 
+a) Select **Use this template** (the big green button).
+b) In the next page, name your new project. Remember to use only lowercase letters and no spaces.
+c) Once you save your new settings, GitHub should take you to your new repository page. Select the **Settings** tab.
+d) Once in **Settings** select **Pages**
+e) In the **Pages** tab select the **main** branch from the **Branch** drop-down menu. Save. Your site will be built shortly. Give it a few minutes. GitHub will display the link to your published site shortly. 
 
-If you're using a Mac, make sure you have the appropriate version of [XCode command line tools](https://developer.apple.com/xcode/download/) for your OSX. Using the terminal's `cd` command, switch to the directory where you want to install your project. Once inside the folder, you are ready to download and start using Ed. Enter each of these lines into your terminal (remember to ignore the `$`):

+## Installing Ed Locally

+The easy way could also be called the 'lucky' way. It will work if your system is ready for Ed, that is, if you already have a working Ruby environment that you were using for another project. If you don't even know what that means, skip ahead.

 If you don't get an error, you're good to go. Using the `cd` command on your terminal, navigate to the folder where you keep your web projects. Once you're in the folder where you want Ed to live, download it from github using the following line (remember you can copy and paste):
 
-~~~ bash
-$ git clone https://github.com/minicomp/ed.git

 At this point you should navigate inside your Ed project folder and stay there until further notice:
