 ## 🚀 Installation
 
-The `setup.sh` script is provided to compile and install the TimeTurner application and its systemd service on a Debian-based system like Raspberry Pi OS.
+The `setup.sh` script compiles and installs the TimeTurner application. You can run it by cloning the repository with `git` or by using the `curl` command below for a git-free installation.
 
 ### Prerequisites
 
-- **Rust and Cargo**: The script requires the Rust programming language toolchain. If you don't have it, install it from [rustup.rs](https://rustup.rs/).
+- **Internet Connection**: To download dependencies.
+- **Curl and Unzip**: The script requires `curl` to download files and `unzip` for the git-free method. The setup script will attempt to install these if they are missing.
 
-### Running the Installer
+### Running the Installer (Recommended)
+
+This command downloads the latest version, unpacks it, and runs the setup script. Paste it into your Raspberry Pi terminal:
 
-1.  First, clone the repository:
 ```bash
-    git clone https://github.com/cjfranko/NTP-Timeturner.git
+curl -L https://github.com/cjfranko/NTP-Timeturner/archive/refs/heads/main.zip -o NTP-Timeturner.zip && \
-    cd NTP-Timeturner
+unzip NTP-Timeturner.zip && \
-    ```
+cd NTP-Timeturner-main && \
-2.  Make the script executable and run it. The script will use `sudo` for commands that require root privileges, so it may ask for your password.
+chmod +x setup.sh && \
-    ```bash
-    chmod +x setup.sh
 ./setup.sh
 ```
