 ### One-click installers
 
-| Windows | Linux | macOS | WSL |
-|--------|--------|--------|--------|
-| [oobabooga-windows.zip](https://github.com/oobabooga/text-generation-webui/releases/download/installers/oobabooga_windows.zip) | [oobabooga-linux.zip](https://github.com/oobabooga/text-generation-webui/releases/download/installers/oobabooga_linux.zip) |[oobabooga-macos.zip](https://github.com/oobabooga/text-generation-webui/releases/download/installers/oobabooga_macos.zip) | [oobabooga-wsl.zip](https://github.com/oobabooga/text-generation-webui/releases/download/installers/oobabooga_wsl.zip) |
+1) Run the `start_linux.sh`, `start_windows.bat`, `start_macos.sh`, or `start_wsl.bat` script depending on your OS.
+2) Select your GPU vendor when asked.
+3) Have fun!
 
-Just download the zip above, extract it, and double-click on "start". The web UI and all its dependencies will be installed in the same folder.
+#### More information
 
-* The source codes and more information can be found here: https://github.com/oobabooga/one-click-installers
-* There is no need to run the installers as admin.
-* Huge thanks to [@jllllll](https://github.com/jllllll), [@ClayShoaf](https://github.com/ClayShoaf), and [@xNul](https://github.com/xNul) for their contributions to these installers.
+The script will create a folder called `installer_files` where it will create a Conda environment using Miniconda. The installation is self-contained: if you want to reinstall, just delete `installer_files` and run the start script again.
+
+To launch the webui in the future after it is already installed, run the same `start` script. 
+
+To update, run `update_linux.sh`, `update_windows.bat`, `update_macos.sh`, or `update_wsl.bat`.
+
+To run commands in the `installer_files` environment, run the appropriate cmd script: `cmd_linux.sh`, `cmd_windows.bat`, `cmd_macos.sh`, or `cmd_wsl.bat`.
+
+To define persistent command-line flags like `--listen` or `--api`, edit the `CMD_FLAGS.txt` file with a text editor and add them there. Flags can also be provided directly to the start scripts, for instance, `./start-linux.sh --listen`.
+
+Some observations:
+
+* There is no need to run any of those scripts as admin/root.
+* If you need to move your installation folder, you will need to delete `installer_files` and install again, as some links will be broken. So choose a good location for your `text-generation-webui` folder before installing.
+* Additional instructions for WSL and AMD can be found here: [Instructions](https://github.com/oobabooga/text-generation-webui/blob/one-click/docs/One-Click-Installers.md).
+* The installer has been tested mostly on NVIDIA GPUs. If you can find a way to improve it for your AMD/Intel Arc/Mac Metal GPU, you are highly encouraged to submit a PR to this repository. The main file to be edited is `one_click.py`.

+
+## Using an AMD GPU in Linux
+
+Requires ROCm SDK 5.4.2 or 5.4.3 to be installed. Some systems may also
+need: sudo apt-get install libstdc++-12-dev
+
+Edit the "one_click.py" script using a text editor and un-comment and
+modify the lines near the top of the script according to your setup. In
+particular, modify the os.environ["ROCM_PATH"] = '/opt/rocm' line to
+point to your ROCm installation.
+
+## WSL instructions
+
+If you do not have WSL installed, see here:
+https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/wsl/install
+
+If you want to install Linux to a drive other than C
+Open powershell and enter these commands:
+
+cd D:\Path\To\Linux
+$ProgressPreference = 'SilentlyContinue'
+Invoke-WebRequest -Uri <LinuxDistroURL> -OutFile Linux.appx -UseBasicParsing
+mv Linux.appx Linux.zip
+
+Then open Linux.zip and you should see several .appx files inside.
+The one with _x64.appx contains the exe installer that you need.
+Extract the contents of that _x64.appx file and run <distro>.exe to install.
+
+Linux Distro URLs:
+https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/wsl/install-manual#downloading-distributions
+
+******************************************************************************
+*ENSURE THAT THE WSL LINUX DISTRO THAT YOU WISH TO USE IS SET AS THE DEFAULT!*
+******************************************************************************
+
+Do this by using these commands:
+wsl -l
+wsl -s <DistroName>
+
+### Web UI Installation
+
+Run the "start" script. By default it will install the web UI in WSL:
+/home/{username}/text-gen-install
+
+To launch the web UI in the future after it is already installed, run
+the same "start" script. Ensure that one_click.py and wsl.sh are next to it!
+
+### Updating the web UI
+
+As an alternative to running the "update" script, you can also run "wsl.sh update" in WSL.
+
+### Running an interactive shell
+
+As an alternative to running the "cmd" script, you can also run "wsl.sh cmd" in WSL.
+
+### Changing the default install location
+
+To change this, you will need to edit the scripts as follows:
+wsl.sh: line ~22   INSTALL_DIR="/path/to/install/dir"
+
+Keep in mind that there is a long-standing bug in WSL that significantly
+slows drive read/write speeds when using a physical drive as opposed to
+the virtual one that Linux is installed in.
