 ## Installation
 
-Until the extension is available in the [VS Code Extension Marketplace](https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/vscode), please download the latest `.vsix` file from the [releases page](https://github.com/apache/daffodil-vscode/releases). Then install it by either:
-  * using the "Extensions: Install from VSIX" command from within VS Code (open the Command Palette with Shift-Command-P, then type `vsix` to bring up the command and pointing it at the downloaded `vsix` file); or
-  * on the command-line via `code --install-extension <path-to-downloaded-vsix>`.
+Once you have either downloaded the VSIX file or created it you can now install it. There are two options to do this:
 
+* Via "Extensions: Install from VSIX" command from within VS Code.
+  * Open the Command Palette with Shift-Command-P (Mac) OR Shift-Ctrl-P (Windows/Linux)
+  * Type `vsix` to bring up the command and pointing it at the `vsix` file
+
+* Via command line
+  ```bash
+  code --install-extension daffodil-debugger-*.vsix
+  ```
