+Valet+ is a development environment for macOS. No Vagrant, no Docker, no `/etc/hosts` file. This project uses 
+[laravel/valet](https://github.com/laravel/valet) as a dependency.
 
 
 ## Installation
 
-This project uses [laravel/valet](https://github.com/laravel/valet) as a dependency. You can follow the installation 
-instructions of Laravel's Valet.
+> :warning: Valet+ requires macOS and [Homebrew](https://brew.sh/). Before installation, you should make sure that no 
+> other programs such as Apache or Nginx are binding to your local machine's port 80.
+
+> :warning: Valet+ requires [Composer](https://getcomposer.org/) to be installed. 
+
+To get started, you first need to ensure that Homebrew is up to date using the update command:
+```shell
+brew update
+```
+
+Next, you should use Homebrew to install PHP 8.0:
+```shell
+brew install php@8.0
+brew link php@8.0 --force
+brew services restart php@8.0
+```
+
+Install Valet+ 3.x-dev with composer:
+```shell
+composer global require weprovide/valet-plus:3.x-dev
+```
+
+Finally, you may execute the Valet+ `install` command. This will configure and install Valet+, Nginx, DnsMasq and other
+services. In addition, use `--help` to see all installation options. 
+```shell
+valet-plus install
+```
+
+The daemons Valet+ depends on will be configured to launch when your system starts. Once Valet+ is installed, try pinging
+any `*.test` domain on your terminal using a command such as `ping foobar.test`. If Valet+ is installed correctly you 
+should see this domain responding on `127.0.0.1`.
 
-> Note: install php@8.0 first before installing Valet+.
-> You can do this with the following commands.
-> ```shell
-> brew install php@8.0
-> brew link php@8.0 --force
-> brew services restart php@8.0
-> ```
