 **WIP: This cli is a work in progress. It is not ready for use yet. Follow our progress on [the Backstage Discord](https://discord.gg/MUpMjP2) under #docs-like-code or on [our GitHub Milestone](https://github.com/spotify/backstage/milestone/15).**
 
-## Commands
+## Prerequisities
+
+Run the following command from the project root:
 
 ```bash
-# Serve localhost:3000 (and localhost:8000)
-yarn serve
-
-# Serve localhost:8000 containing your Mkdocs documentation.
-yarn serve:mkdocs
+yarn install
 ```
 
-## Getting Started
+## Run TechDocs CLI
 
-You'll need Docker installed and running to use this. You will also need to build the container located at `/packages/techdocs-container` under the tag `mkdocs:local-dev`, as you can see in the commands from below:
-
-```bash
-docker build packages/techdocs-container -t mkdocs:local-dev
-```
-
-From that point, you can invoke the CLI from any project with a docs folder. Try out our example!
+You'll need Docker installed and running to use this.
 
 ```bash
 cd packages/techdocs-container/mock-docs
-npx @techdocs/cli serve
+
+# To get a view of your docs in Backstage, use:
+npx techdocs-cli serve
+
+# To view the raw mkdocs site (without Backstage), use:
+npx techdocs-cli serve:mkdocs
 ```
 
-## Local Development
+If you run `npx techdocs-cli serve` you should have a `localhost:3000` serving TechDocs in Backstage, as well as `localhost:8000` serving Mkdocs (which won't open up and be exposed to the user).
 
-You'll need Docker installed and running to use this. You will also need to build the container located at `packages/techdocs-container` under the tag `mkdocs:local-dev` (for now until we deploy the container to a centralized Docker registry), as you can see in the commands from below:
-
-```bash
-docker build packages/techdocs-container -t mkdocs:local-dev
-```
-
-```bash
-cd packages/techdocs-container/mock-docs
-npx techdocs serve
-```
-
-You should have a `localhost:3000` serving TechDocs in Backstage, as well as `localhost:8000` serving Mkdocs (which won't open up and be exposed to the user).
+If running `npx techdocs-cli serve:mkdocs` you will have `localhost:8000` exposed, serving Mkdocs.
 
 Happy hacking!
