 ## Using This Template
 
-To start a project using this template, click the "Use this template" button in the upper right corner of the GitHub repository. Choose an appropriate name and clone the new repository using Git. Finally, update the package name in `Cargo.toml`:
+This template uses `cargo-generate`, which can be installed with the following command:
 
-```toml
-[package]
-name = "my-vex-robot"
-version = "0.1.0"
-edition = "2021"
+```sh
+cargo install cargo-generate
 ```
 
-You can also configure your program slot and upload behavior in `Cargo.toml`:
+Create a new vexide project by then running the following command:
 
-```toml
-[package.metadata.v5]
-slot = 1
-icon = "cool-x"
-compress = true
+```sh
+cargo generate vexide/vexide-template
 ```
 
-> See our [Building & Uploading tutorial](https://vexide.dev/docs/building-uploading/) for more information.
+Or, make a library instead:
 
+```sh
+cargo generate vexide/vexide-template --lib
+```
+
+<!--{% endif %}-->
 ## Getting Started (Windows)
 
 Follow the instructions [here](https://www.rust-lang.org/tools/install) to install `rustup`.
