 ## Build and run an image for your CRD and Controller
 
-`Dockerfile`s for the controller-manager and installer containers were created at the project root.
+`A Dockerfile for the controller-manager was created at the project root.
 The controller-manager Dockerfile will build the controller-manager from source and also run the tests under
 `./pkg/...` and `./cmd/...`.
 
 ```sh
-docker build . -f Dockerfile.install -t <install-image>:<version> && docker push <install-image>:<version>
 docker build . -f Dockerfile.controller -t <controller-image>:<version> && docker push <controller-image>:<version>

-To install the controller-manager into a cluster using the installer container - create an installer serviceaccount
-and run the installer container.
