-## How To Install
+Choose the install path that matches your machine.
 
-### Agent Zero Launcher
+| Path | Best for | What it does |
+| --- | --- | --- |
+| **A0 Launcher** | Desktop users who want the guided path | Downloads Agent Zero, creates and manages local Instances, and helps set up the container runtime when needed. |
+| **A0 Install** | Terminals, SSH sessions, servers, and scripted setup | Installs Agent Zero from the command line, reuses an existing Docker-compatible runtime first, and can run headlessly. |
+| **Docker** | Machines that already have Docker ready | Runs the Agent Zero container directly. |
 
-Starting fresh on a new machine? Use the desktop **Agent Zero Launcher** if you want a guided app instead of manual Docker commands.
+## A0 Launcher
 
-Download the Launcher from the [A0 Launcher releases](https://github.com/agent0ai/a0-launcher/releases), open it, and let it check your local runtime. If Docker is missing or stopped, the Launcher offers a setup path before it downloads Agent Zero. If you already host Agent Zero elsewhere, add it as a remote Instance and use the Launcher without local Docker setup.
+The desktop **A0 Launcher** is the recommended way to install Agent Zero on a personal machine. Download the Launcher, open it, and let it check your local runtime. If Docker is missing or stopped, the Launcher offers a setup path before it downloads Agent Zero.

+
+## A0 Install
+
+Use **A0 Install** when you want the terminal path: SSH sessions, servers, recovery shells, or a scriptable setup. It creates Dockerized Agent Zero instances, mounts each instance's data into `/a0/usr` inside the container, and uses a reuse-before-setup policy: it tries your current Docker CLI configuration, `DOCKER_HOST`, Docker contexts, and known local Docker-compatible endpoints before setting up a runtime.

+### Headless / scripted
+
+For servers and automation, run the installer in Quick Start mode so it creates one instance and exits without opening menus:
+
+```bash
+curl -fsSL https://bash.agent-zero.ai | bash -s -- --quick-start --name agent-zero --port 5080

+
+Use `--skip-runtime-setup` / `-SkipRuntimeSetup` when Docker must already be working and the installer should not try to set up a runtime. See the [A0 Install repository](https://github.com/agent0ai/a0-install) for all installer flags.
