-To use pybamm-cookiecutter template, first clone this repository on your local machine.
+Install `copier` and `jinja2_time` extension using `pip`.
 ```bash
-git clone https://github.com/pybamm-team/pybamm-cookiecutter.git

-Create a temporary virtual environment inside the reposiory and activate it.
-```bash
-python3 -m venv venv
-source venv/bin/activate

-Install cookiecutter and generate the project using the pybamm-cookiecutter template by moving outside the parent pybamm-cookiecutter directory.
+Generate a project from the `pybamm-cookiecutter` template.
+**Note:** This requires an internet connection. You could manually clone the git repository and run the copy command, or just execute the copy command with the URL to the git repository.

+Copier will prompt you with various configurations and you may choose the ones that suit your use case.
 
-Once the project is generated through cookiecutter, initialise `git` by executing `git init` inside your project directory.
+**Note**: A `git` repository is automatically initialised when a project is created within a directory.
 
+After generation, you can navigate to the generated project and run `nox -s generated-project-tests` to ensure if the project units are working as intended.
 
 ### Installing the `pybamm-cookiecutter` project
 
-This is our version of the project generated using the cookiecutter template. There are two ways to install this project, either through `nox` or `pip`. `nox` uses `uv pip` or `pip` internally, and in this case creates a virtual environment for you to activate.
