-## Installation
+# Install
+## Prerequisites
 
-### NPM Install
+### **Dependencies**
+
+Before installation, ensure that you have installed the following:
+
+- **Node.js**: Required for running the installation.
+- **NPM**: Needed to manage packages.
+- **CPU Instruction Sets**: Available for download from the [Cortex GitHub Releases](https://github.com/janhq/cortex/releases) page.
+
+<aside>
+💡 The **CPU instruction sets** are not required for the initial installation of Cortex. This dependency will be automatically installed during the Cortex initialization if they are not already on your system.
+
+</aside>
+
+### **Hardware**
+
+Ensure that your system meets the following requirements to run Cortex:
+
+- **OS**:
+    - MacOSX 13.6 or higher.
+    - Windows 10 or higher.
+    - Ubuntu 12.04 and later.
+- **RAM (CPU Mode):**
+    - 8GB for running up to 3B models.
+    - 16GB for running up to 7B models.
+    - 32GB for running up to 13B models.
+- **VRAM (GPU Mode):**
+    - 6GB can load the 3B model (int4) with `ngl` at 120 ~ full speed on CPU/ GPU.
+    - 8GB can load the 7B model (int4) with `ngl` at 120 ~ full speed on CPU/ GPU.
+    - 12GB can load the 13B model (int4) with `ngl` at 120 ~ full speed on CPU/ GPU.
+
+- **Disk**: At least 10GB for app and model download.
+
+## Cortex Installation
+
+To install Cortex, follow the steps below:
+
+### Step 1: Install Cortex
+
+Run the following command to install Cortex globally on your machine:
+
+```bash
+# Install using NPM globally
+npm i -g @janhq/cortex
+```
+
+### Step 2: Verify the Installation
+
+After installation, you can verify that Cortex is installed correctly by getting help information.
+
+```bash
+# Get the help information
+cortex -h
+```
+
+### Step 3: Initialize Cortex
+
+Once verified, you need to initialize the Cortex engine.
+
+1. Initialize the Cortex engine:
+
+```
+cortex init
+```
+
+1. Select between `CPU` and `GPU` modes.
+
+```bash
+? Select run mode (Use arrow keys)
+> CPU
+  GPU
+```
+
+2. Select between GPU types.
 
-* Pre-install script:
 ```bash
-npm pre-install script; platform specific (MacOS / Windows / Linux)
+? Select GPU types (Use arrow keys)
+> Nvidia
+  Others (Vulkan)
 ```
-* Tag based:
-```json
-npm install @janhq/cortex
-npm install @janhq/cortex#cuda
-npm install @janhq/cortex#cuda-avx512
-npm install @janhq/cortex#cuda-avx
+3. Select CPU instructions (will be deprecated soon).
+
+```bash
+? Select CPU instructions (Use arrow keys)
+> AVX2
+  AVX
+  AVX-512
 ```
 
-### CLI Install Script
+1. Cortex will download the required CPU instruction sets if you choose `CPU` mode. If you choose `GPU` mode, Cortex will download the necessary dependencies to use your GPU.
+2. Once downloaded, Cortex is ready to use!
+
+### Step 4: Pull a model
+From HuggingFace
+```bash
+cortex pull janhq/phi-3-medium-128k-instruct-GGUF
+```
 
+From Jan Hub (TBD)
 ```bash
-cortex init (AVX2 + Cuda)
+cortex pull llama3
+```
 
-Enable GPU Acceleration?
-1. Nvidia (default) - detected
-2. AMD
-3. Mac Metal
+### Step 5: Chat
+```bash
+cortex run janhq/phi-3-medium-128k-instruct-GGUF
+```
 
-Enter your choice: 
+## Run as an API server
+```bash
+cortex serve
+```
 
-CPU Instructions
-1. AVX2 (default) - Recommend based on what the user has
-2. AVX  (old CPU)
-3. AVX512
+## Build from Source
 
-Enter your choice: 
+To install Cortex from the source, follow the steps below:
 
-Downloading cortex-cuda-avx.so........................25%
+1. Clone the Cortex repository [here](https://github.com/janhq/cortex/tree/dev).
+2. Navigate to the `cortex-js` folder.
+3. Open the terminal and run the following command to build the Cortex project:
 
-Cortex is ready!
+```bash
+npx nest build
+```
 
-It seems like you have installed models from other applications. Do you want to import them?
-1. Import from /Users/HOME/jan/models
-2. Import from /Users/HOME/lmstudio/models
-3. Import everything
+1. Make the `command.js` executable:
 
-Importing from /Users/HOME/jan/models..................17%
+```bash
+chmod +x '[path-to]/cortex/cortex-js/dist/src/command.js'
 ```
 
-## Backend (jan app)
+1. Link the package globally:
 
-```json
-POST /settings
-{
-    "gpu_enabled": true,
-    "gpu_family": "Nvidia",
-    "cpu_instructions": "AVX2" 
-}
+```bash
+npm link
 ```
 
-## Client Library Configuration
+## Uninstall Cortex
 
-TBD
+Run the following command to uninstall Cortex globally on your machine:
+
+```
+# Uninstall globally using NPM
+npm uninstall -g @janhq/cortex
+```
