 ## Installation
 
 Poetry provides a custom installer that will install `poetry` isolated
-from the rest of your system by vendorizing its dependencies. This is the

-!!! note
+The installer installs the `poetry` tool to Poetry's `bin` directory. This location depends on you system:
 
-    You only need to install Poetry once. It will automatically pick up the current
-    Python version and use it to [create virtualenvs](/docs/managing-environments) accordingly.
+- `$HOME/.local/bin` for Unix
+- `%APPDATA%\Python\Scripts` on Windows
 
-The installer installs the `poetry` tool to Poetry's `bin` directory.
-On Unix it is located at `$HOME/.poetry/bin` and on Windows at `%USERPROFILE%\.poetry\bin`.
+If this directory is not on you `PATH`, you will need to add it manually
+if you want to invoke Poetry with simply `poetry`.
 
-This directory will be automatically added to your `$PATH` environment variable,
-by appending a statement to your `$HOME/.profile` configuration (or equivalent files).
-If you do not feel comfortable with this, please pass the `--no-modify-path` flag to
-the installer and manually add the Poetry's `bin` directory to your path.
+Alternatively, you can use the full path to `poetry` to use it.
 
-Finally, open a new shell and type the following:
+Once Poetry is installed you can execute the following:
 
 ```bash
 poetry --version
 ```
 
-If you see something like `Poetry 0.12.0` then you are ready to use Poetry.
+If you see something like `Poetry (version 1.2.0)` then you are ready to use Poetry.
 If you decide Poetry isn't your thing, you can completely remove it from your system
 by running the installer again with the `--uninstall` option or by setting
 the `POETRY_UNINSTALL` environment variable before executing the installer.
 
 ```bash
-python get-poetry.py --uninstall
-POETRY_UNINSTALL=1 python get-poetry.py
+python install-poetry.py --uninstall
+POETRY_UNINSTALL=1 python install-poetry.py
 ```
 
-By default, Poetry is installed into the user's platform-specific home directory. If you wish to change this, you may define the `POETRY_HOME` environment variable:

-!!!note
+You can also install Poetry for a `git` repository by using the `--git` option:
 
-    Note that the installer does not support Poetry releases < 0.12.0.
-
-!!!note
-
-    The setup script must be able to find one of following executables in your shell's path environment:
-
-    - `python` (which can be a py3 or py2 interpreter)
-    - `python3`
-    - `py.exe -3` (Windows)
-    - `py.exe -2` (Windows)
-
-### Alternative installation methods (not recommended)
+```bash
+python install-poetry.py --git https://github.com/python-poetry/poetry.git@master
+````
 
 !!!note
 
-    Using alternative installation methods will make Poetry always
-    use the Python version for which it has been installed to create
-    virtualenvs.
-
-    So, you will need to install Poetry for each Python version you
-    want to use and switch between them.
-
-#### Installing with `pip`
-
-Using `pip` to install Poetry is possible.
-
-```bash
-pip install --user poetry
-```
+    Note that the installer does not support Python < 3.6.
 
-!!!warning
 
-    Be aware that it will also install Poetry's dependencies
-    which might cause conflicts with other packages.
+### Alternative installation methods
 
 #### Installing with `pipx`
 
-Using [`pipx`](https://github.com/cs01/pipx) to install Poetry is also possible. [pipx] is used to install Python CLI applications globally while still isolating them in virtual environments. This allows for clean upgrades and uninstalls. pipx supports Python 3.6 and later. If using an earlier version of Python, consider [pipsi](https://github.com/mitsuhiko/pipsi).
