 ## 🚀 Installation

-The CLI is intended to be used within the monorepo:
+### Using npx (Recommended)
+
+Run the CLI without installing it globally. This always uses the latest version from the registry:

 ```bash
-pnpm install
+npx @mintel/cli init apps/my-new-website.com
+```
+
+### Global Installation
+
+Install the CLI globally from the Mintel registry:
+
+```bash
+npm install -g @mintel/cli
+```
+
+### Development (Local Link)
+
+If you are contributing to the CLI, you can link it locally:
+
+```bash
+cd packages/cli
+pnpm build
+npm link
 ```

 ## 🛠 Commands

 Scaffolds a new, production-ready client website in the specified path.

 ```bash
-pnpm --filter @mintel/cli start init apps/my-new-website.com
+mintel init apps/my-new-website.com
 ```

 #### What it does:
+
 1.  **Project Structure**: Creates a modern Next.js directory layout.
 2.  **Shared Configs**: Generates `package.json`, `tsconfig.json`, and `eslint.config.mjs` that extend the `@mintel` shared packages.
 3.  **Localization**: Sets up a localized routing structure (`src/app/[locale]`) with `next-intl` pre-configured.
