 ## Get started
 
-The first thing to understand is that IF is a framework for running plugins. This means that in order to do some calculations, you need to load some plugins from some external resource. We provide a [standard library of plugins](https://github.com/Green-Software-Foundation/if-plugins) and a repository of [community plugins](https://github.com/Green-Software-Foundation/if-unofficial-plugins) to get you started.
+IF is a framework for running pipelines of plugins that operate on a set of observations. This is all configured using a manifest file.  We provide a standard library of plugins that come bundled with IF - we refer to these as `builtins`. We also have an [Explorer](https://explorer.if.greensoftware.foundation) where anyone can list third party plugins you can install.
 
-Start by installing framework itself:
+Start by installing the latest version of IF:
 
 ```sh
 npm install -g "@grnsft/if"
 ```
 
-Then installing some plugins:
-
-```sh
-npm install -g "@grnsft/if-plugins"
-```

 Then create a `manifest` file that describes your application (see our docs for a detailed explanation).
 
 Then, run `if` using the following command:
 
 ```sh
-if-run --manifest <path-to-your-manifest-file>
+if-run --manifest <path-to-your-manifest-file> --stdout
 ## or you can use aliases
-if-run -m <path-to-your-manifest-file>
+if-run -m <path-to-your-manifest-file> -s

 ```
 
-Note that above command will not print the final output. In order to print the final output to the console, run `if` using the optional stdout argument:

-if-run -m <path-to-your-manifest-file> -s
+if-run -m <path-to-your-manifest> -o <savepath>
 ```
 
-You can also add a savepath for your output yaml in order to have the output stored in a file. Note that you also have to add configuration to your manifest to enable this, as follows:

 The `if-run` CLI tool will configure and run the plugins defined in your input `yaml` (`manifest`) and return the results as an output `yaml` (`output`).
