 ## Installation
 
-1. **Navigate to project directory**:
+1. **Create project directory**:
    ```bash
-   cd ~/GitLab/customer-engineering/mockapi
+   sudo mkdir /opt/mockapi
+   sudo chown -R \$USER:\$USER /opt/mockapi
+   cd /opt/mockapi
    ```
-
-2. **Create a virtual environment** (recommended):
+2. **Clone Application**:
    ```bash
-   python3 -m venv venv
-   source venv/bin/activate  # On Windows: venv\Scripts\activate
+   git clone https://git.sechpoint.app/customer-engineering/mockapi.git
+   chmod +x *.sh
+   ./install.sh
    ```
 
-3. **Install dependencies**:

-   DATABASE_URL=sqlite+aiosqlite:///./mockapi.db
-   ADMIN_USERNAME=admin
-   ADMIN_PASSWORD=admin123           # Change this in production!
