+
+**A)** If you already have a Laravel project, clone this repository on your `Laravel` root direcotry:
 
 ```bash
 git submodule add https://github.com/LaraDock/laradock.git
 ```
+>If you are not already using Git for your Laravel project, you can use `git clone` instead of `git submodule`.
 
-2 - That's it, jump to the Usage section now.

+**B)** If you don't have a Laravel project, and you want to install Laravel from Docker, clone this repo anywhere on your machine:
 
 ```bash
 git clone https://github.com/LaraDock/laradock.git
 ```
 
-2 - Go to the Uage section below and do the steps 1 and 3 then come back here.
-
-3 - Enter the Workspace container. (assuming you have the Workspace container running):
-
-```bash
-docker exec -it {Workspace-Container-Name} bash
-```
-Replace `{Workspace-Container-Name}` with your Workspace container name. To get the name type `docker-compose ps` and copy it.
-
-4 - Install Laravel anyway you like. 
-
-Example using the Laravel Installer:
-
-```bash
-laravel new my-cool-app
-```
-For more about this check out this [link](https://laravel.com/docs/master#installing-laravel).
-
-5 - Edit `docker-compose.yml` to Map the new application path:
-
-By default LaraDock assumes the Laravel application is living in the parent directory of the laradock folder. 
-
-Since the new Laravel application is in the `my-cool-app` folder, we should replace `../:/var/www/laravel` with `../my-cool-app/:/var/www/laravel`, as follow:
-
-```yaml
-    application:
-        build: ./application
-        volumes:
